JBM Appreciation

[Hallbopping]

AFAIK he broke a rib the week earlier playing fball for the Barrs,

He did and Dr Con told a funny story about trying to give him an injection to which JBM said he’d knock his block off so Dr Con injected it into the jersey instead.

I read about Con giving Niall Cahalane a painkilLer before a match, Cahalane had to grab hold of Counihan to help ease the pain,

No bigger icon in cork sport, I remember when he was made ambassador for Curraheen park stadium i met him one day and asked
him what would he have to do as part of the gig? He replied Fuck all and laughed,

Yep, no one even comes close imo. Not Roy or Dinny, not Sonia. And that's taking nothing away from them, who are also legends.

But Jimmy is the GOAT.

Agreed , His common touch shines through, Pints in Moks and the bus home is his ideal night out,

One story stands out which sums up JBM standing in Cork, One Tuesday evening @Nollaig O Muracu was late heading for Noels ( 5pm)
The lads outside smoking told his there was a fella sitting on his stool, Nollaig turned red with rage and stormed in to sort your man out,
There was JBM sitting on the stool, Nollaig tried to speak but nothing came out as he tried to introduce himself,
JBM remained in the stool all night ,

That photo of JBM passing on his words of wisdom to Christy Ring is on the wall of the friars walk tavern Ringy looks starstruck.

Even at that stage of their lives Ringy was probably the better hurler

My husbands grandfather and granuncles played on those glen teams with Ring.

They dined out on the stories for years

You have shot up in my estimation young lady!

Wasn't the Buckleys by any chance?

The good old irish way, I saw So & so at the dog track he must have a serious problem, I saw so & so in a pub he must have a serious issue,

It's the good old PROC way anyway - I merely mentioned that I've been to a pub or two over the years and ye think I must have a drink issue. I rarely have more than a couple of pints on a night out.
