Liam Rushe has insisted he wasn't trying to make a fashion statement when he wore ankle socks in Dublin's Leinster SHC quarter-final defeat to Galway yesterday.
The St. Pat's, Palmerstown clubman's choice of footwear in Tullamore caused quite a stir on social media, but it transpires he wore the ankle socks to try "ease the pain" of a badly blistered heel.
TweetCalm down lads. The socks were just trying to ease the pain, no fashion statement intended. pic.twitter.com/WDQPBgzJRx
