Patrick Horgan surpasses the great Christy Ring

Replying To Brianmac78:  "Lads I didn't start this topic to compare Horgan to Ring, or any other ex cork players, nor was it started to suggest he's the greates cork forward ever. It was started simply to recognise a fantastic achievement"
Pity he made this landmark on a day he should have been red carded for a seriously dangerous "challenge"

Congrats to him on the achievement as it takes huge commitment now days to be involved with county teams and be there long enough to run up that tally.
Obviously , the back door didn't exist in Rings day and all players are of their era. They didn't have to put as much effort and time into being part of a county set up either,hence being able to play for 24 years for a county team which is unthinkable today.
