DUBLIN GAA LEGEND Des ‘Snitchy’ Ferguson has died at the age of 91.
The former dual star won two All-Ireland senior football championships with the Dubs — in 1958 and 1963.
He came agonisingly close to repeating the success in hurling, but lost out to Cork and Tipperary in the 1952 and 1961 All-Ireland finals respectively.
