I said it last Sept on a few GAA threads, and nobody properly clarified it, so I'm going to say it again Tommy Walsh has only 8 AI medals (how bad!). Yet all the media in Sept and now again list him as a "nine-time AI medallist." It's impossible unless I'm missing something as big as a sledgehammer in the middle if the skull! shoulderghost (Limerick) - Posts: 863 - 21/11/2014 13:22:34 1673951 Link 0 |
Just to set the record straight,Tommy joined the KK panel as a 19 year old in 2002 and won an AI as a sub mooncat (Kilkenny) - Posts: 534 - 21/11/2014 14:34:36 1673977 Link 0 |
shoulderghost, he has 8 on the field of play but 9 in total he was an unused sub in 2002. wicklow88 (Wicklow) - Posts: 126 - 21/11/2014 14:37:12 1673979 Link 0 |
Mooncat and Wicklow88, thanks for that. I didn't realize that he was a sub in 2002. He gave me so many hours of pleasure watching the way he hurled, the way it should be played. shoulderghost (Limerick) - Posts: 863 - 22/11/2014 08:38:20 1674073 Link 0 |
Its TW and HS that you show kids when you tell them who to copy and aspire to , on the sideline Id many a row with Kilkenny fans who wore cat glasses were Tommy was concerned , theyd let him away and forgive him anything , but thats what you get with true greats , rough edges , a true genius . Any other county youd be saying they are going to struggle to replace but I know better than to make that prediction were Kk are concerned .
