The Curse of 51
Mayo have not won an All-Ireland football final since 1951. Legend has it that a priest became incensed when the Mayo team bus returning home from the 1951 final passed by a funeral without showing due respect as they celebrated their All-Ireland win. The priest supposedly put a curse on Mayo, that they would not win another title until all of the team had died.[4] Since the death of Peter Quinn in 2016, only two members of the 1951 team are still living.[5]
