The truth behind Bryan Cullen's famous 'see yiz in Coppers' quote

And how kids still shout it at the Dublin stalwart.

โ€œSEE YIZ IN Coppers,โ€ seems an unlikely candidate to go down as one of the great GAA quotes but two years later and Dublin star Bryan Cullen still finds people shouting it back to him in the street.

โ€œ[People still shout it] a little bit, yeah. Particularly with kids. Kids tend to shout it at me a lot.โ€

Cullen didnโ€™t realise the impact his words would have at the time though.

โ€œIt was just kind of spur of the moment.

โ€œAs Iโ€™ve said before, since Iโ€™ve been involved with Dublin we go back there and weโ€™re either celebrating or drowning our sorrows.

โ€œI suppose itโ€™s the first thing that came into my head after winning the All-Ireland, that we were going to be partying for a while. Thatโ€™s where it spawned from.โ€

Cullen, who is unsure of start for Dublin as they look to win their second football title in three years on Sunday, was also coy on whether he got one of Coppersโ€™ infamous Gold Cards, simply saying that the club always looked after the Dublin team.
