Mayo's 'biggest fan' returns to Croker after 12-month ban

It looks like one of Mayo's biggest fans was allowed to return to Croke Park following a 12-month ban for breaching the sideline during his county's All-Ireland semi-final against Kerry last year.

Barrett aka 'Mayo Mick' was issued a one year ban after several stewards were required to remove him from the pitch. The ban prevented him from attending any GAA games including local club games.

After his pitch invasion, Mick said: “It will never happen again, but it happened in the spur of the minute. Maybe it was wrong, it was spur of the minute, but I did nothing wrong.”

The timing for his return couldn't have been better - a photo of Mick Barrett appeared on social media ahead of Mayo's replay match against Dublin.
