Frank wier was a very talented player,and still is. Was at the bracknagh - brigids game last friday and even though hes in his 30's you can still see the talent in him. Its a pity he never wore the county jersey at some stage.
Also your correct about it been 1994. I got my dates mixed up,my bad.
Twice we had the chance,but well get one more

I didnt think he wore the county jersey. Did he get dropped off the panel or whta hapened. I was told he never wanted to play with offaly?

Weir scored five points from his play on his debut and left the panel soon afterwards.

Was Frank Weir not the first lad to get a yellow card ever in GAA?
