Four players (three representing Dublin, one representing Galway) were sent off, earning the Dublin team the epithet "The Dirty Dozen". The game was marred by scenes of thuggery and ugliness. Galway had also lost to Dublin in their previous All-Ireland football final appearance in 1974.[4] Earlier in the game, Barney Rock had scored an 11th-minute goal, but all was overshadowed by what followed.
