Ray Hazley enjoyed a long career as a Gaelic footballer for Dublin and as
a dual player for St. Vincents. He played a central role in the 1983 All
Ireland Final as part of the full-back line for Dublin against Galway. The
game, St. Vincents has become known as the ‘Game of Shame’ due to
the on pitch absurdities which resulted in four players being sent off
including Hazley. The match was played in a heated atmosphere from
the beginning and shortly after Barney Rock had scored the first goal of
the game Brian Mullins was sent off first for striking out at Brian Talty.
Just before half time a mellee occoured in which a number players from
both sides clashed beneath the Hogan Stand. John Gough, the referee
decided to send one player off from each side, Ray Hazley being the
unfortunate Dublin man. Hazley’s final was over but the match
continued and was won by Dublin, despite the fact they were reduced to
only 12 players after Ciaran Duff was also sent off for kicking Galway’s
Pat O’Neill while he was on the ground. The final score 1-10 to 1-8. The
1983 final is one of the most infamous in the history of the GAA and is
well remembered to this day for the ugliness which surrounded it. The
GAA authorities were forced to act fast and deal with the controversy
resulting in a total of six supensions for players and managers, Hazley
receiving a one month ban.
Hazley was also a member of the 1984 and 1985 Dublin squads which
reached All Ireland Finals played against Kerry and he enjoyed success
with St. Vincents teams that won Dublin and Leinster Senior Football
and Hurling Club Championships. An extremely interesting collection of
medals.
