Rip. His dual all Ireland record will probably never be equalled. He was a brilliant fielder of the ball as well, was able to get incredible height when he jumped. Was a pleasure to have seen him back in the day. Very sad.
God be good to him he was forever at games hurling and football at all age levels. He had his troubles but what a player in full flight in his prime. Anyone who saw him play saw he gave his all for Cork and never took a backward step from anyone, even as a relative youngster.
.
A little bit of what makes Cork great dies with him. Very shaking news. I always love the story of Anthony Daly going into a pub in Blackpool one night and having a fuss made of him and an auld fella at the bar goes “and how many all Irelands did ye win?” “Two” says Daly. My man takes a sip and says “we’d a fella did that in a fortnight” R.I.P.
