With Tyrone and Kerry braced to write the latest chapter of an intense and storied rivalry in Saturday's All-Ireland SFC semi-final, here's a look back at the 2005 final, which the Red Hands won 1-16 to 2-10.
After regaining the All-Ireland title in 2004, Kerry faced up to Tyrone again in the 2005 decider but once again the Red Hands proved too good as Peter Canavan's classy finish for his first-half goal ultimately proved the difference between the sides.
Dara O Cinneide's early goal helped the Kingdom lead 1-2 to 0-2 but Mickey Harte's side dominated the second quarter with Canavan's precise low strike past Diarmuid Murphy after an Owen Mulligan pass contributing to the Red Hands' 1-8 to 1-5 half-time lead.
A couple of Stephen O'Neill points kept Tyrone in control despite Kerry's best efforts and, while Tomas O Se did blast in a second Kingdom goal in the 56th minute to cut the margin to one, scores from Canavan, O'Neill, Brian McGuigan and Philip Jordan helped the Red Hands close the game out.
After notching his first-half goal, Canavan was substituted but the Errigal Ciaran star was introduced again during the closing stages of the second half in what proved his final inter-county appearance before his retirement.
Tyrone clinched the title after a remarkable 10-game campaign which saw them requiring replays against Cavan and Armagh in the Ulster semi-final and final, with the Orchard men winning the provincial title, and then having two contests against Dublin in the quarter-finals.
