2002 All-Ireland winner Diarmaid Marsden talks about the influence of Stefan Campbell, and Armagh’s impressive 2022 form.

BETWEEN 1999 AND 2001, the county that knocked Armagh out of the All-Ireland SFC ended the year by lifting the Sam Maguire.First up was Meath. Having just ended a 17-year wait to become Ulster champions, Armagh were edged out by the Royals on the way to their eventual All-Ireland victory. In 2000, it was Kerry who held them off after extra-time in the replay of the All-Ireland semi-final.

“It’s similar again this year, and the teams are on an upward trajectory. Both managers have been there and done it – they know exactly what’s required.” “They’ve had more consistent performances right across all the games they’ve played, and a high level of performance. They were winning matches that they wouldn’t have won in the last five years and they certainly wouldn’t have played as well in. It’s good that they’re going into this game with a bit of momentum.”

“I would have played with his brother John back in the 90s and early 00s, and John would have been a tremendous footballer as well,” says Marsden about the sharpshooter who earned the man-of-the-match award in Armagh’s win over Tyrone. “He’s a fair bit older than Stefan but he would have been the original soupy.“I don’t think any successful team will have one forward who’s going to do all the damage.

Clearly an introspective person who is enjoying the benefits of becoming more self-aware, Campbell also marks important milestones of his recovery on Twitter. Through doing that, he is transmitting an important message to others about the significance of opening up.
