In 1974 he was on the panel that won Dublin's first All-Ireland title since 1963, however after being injured playing against Offaly in the Leinster Championship, did not play in the All-Ireland semi-final or final. He was on the all-Ireland senior football winning side for Dublin in 1976 against rivals Kerry by a scoreline of 3-8 to 0-10. The following year he got the crucial goal in what many believe to be the greatest game of all time when Dublin defeated Kerry in the All Ireland Football semi final.
