For the third year in a row Brian Dooher is on the verge of yet another comeback after playing his first club game since retiring from last year's match against Meath with injury.
Brian Dooher was an awesome footballer at his peak, his engine was unrivalled in the country and Mickey Harte knew the value the captain of his All-Ireland winners in 2005 brought to his side.
He went deep in search of the ball supporting his mid field and half backs and then almost casually at times carried the ball forward linking up with the attack.
He scored great points too and his passing improved like a vintage wine with age.
He has been plagued by injury since 2005 however and Tyrone have felt his loss and that of Brian McGuigan deeply.
Two very different players but both vitally important to the Red Hands' possession game.
But Dooher has soaked up a lot of punishment and shipped a lot of knocks and I don't think that Tyrone can keep pulling him out of the hat like he is some sort of Lazarus.
He showed his worth to his team in the few appearances he made last season but unfortunately I don't believe we will ever see the free running Dooher of old ever again.
