It shows Mike in jubilant mood on the platform of Heuston Station on the Monday after a Cork hurling All-Ireland victory.  As far as I know it was on the front page of one of our daily papers.   I think it was the 1977 victory when Martin Doherty was captain. The little girl at the bottom of the picture is Sinéad, my wife, ”  says John Egan who is married to Michael Looney’s niece, Sinéad.   We thank John for very kindly emailing the photograph to us.   We shall broadcast our special radio tribute programme on Cork Music Station  (www.corkmusicstation.com) on Tuesday at 9.30 pm.    (S.R.)
