The All-Ireland Senior Football Championship of 1990 was the 104th staging of Ireland's premier Gaelic football knock-out competition. Cork won the championship, beating Meath 0-11 to 0-9 in the final at Croke Park, Dublin. Cork's victory completed a unique double for the county, as a few weeks earlier, their hurling counterparts won the Liam McCarthy Cup.
Famous quotes containing the words senior and/or football:
“I suffer whenever I see that common sight of a parent or senior imposing his opinion and way of thinking and being on a young soul to which they are totally unfit. Cannot we let people be themselves, and enjoy life in their own way? You are trying to make that man another you. One’s enough.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In football they measure forty-yard sprints. Nobody runs forty yards in basketball. Maybe you run the ninety-four feet of the court; then you stop, not on a dime, but on Miss Liberty’s torch. In football you run over somebody’s face.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
