Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[shez1987]

Seanie lived for goals, he made John Fitzgibbon look an all-round forward by comparison. Broke Tipp hearts in 1984. RIP.

Just seen the sad news. The greatest goal poacher of them all.

30 goals and 33 points in 36 games.
And a fair shot of them after donating a kidney to his brother!

One of the pantheon.

RIP, Seanie. Goals win games, and by Christ did Seanie win some games.

Fantastic hurler and found plenty of success on the sideline too.

We were blessed w

sad news, one of our alltime heroes, goals, goals, goals. RIP

We were blessed with that 70s team even up the the 90s to have teams that had one thing on their mind and that was goals, points were for others. Even among those teams of goal getters Seanie stood head and shoulders above the others. You paid the entrance fee to see him, he put bums on seats. legendary.

He really was one of a kind and with the evolution of the game will probably not see an enigma like him again.

R.I.P. Seánie. He was a hero to anyone who saw him hurl for Cork. His silky skill and an eye for a goal made the Cork people and GAA people far and wide admire him greatly. We are lucky and grateful to have those clips to showcase his class and to keep his memory alive. A successful coach too after his playing days. Laochra Gael. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.

My best memory of Seanie is his goal that hauled Cork back from the dead in the 1984 Munster Final in Thurles. Unforgettable imo!

One Seany Leary
Theres only one seany leary
One seany leeeeeery

We absolutely loved him. He had some skill in his wrists... look at the two goals against offaly. I don't mind admitting i shed a tear for him today. Would love to get all of cork to sing that ditty at our front door for his funeral
