 In 1987 the centenary All-Ireland football final took place and a special series of events was planned on the day at Croke Park.There was a parade of the 1947 Polo Grounds finalists; however, the biggest cheer of the day was reserved for O'Hehir who was pushed onto the field in a wheelchair by his son Peter.Nobody expected the standing ovation and the huge outpouring of emotion from the thousands of fans present and from O'Hehir himself.
