In fairness to the poster (I cannot speak his/her mind now) I think they mean a player who was on the panel that never played at all, Noel Hickey had a sterling career at full back for the few years he was there and would have been a panel player at end of his career...the like of "chap" mentioned elsewhere is how I read the question as in a fellah at tail end of the panel who never played a minutes hurling over one year or a couple of years on the panel..there must be quiet a few I would think...

OK. Like Canice Hickey, Noel's brother. He's won 2 AL medals, 2 Leinster and 1 NHL; all as a sub. But he has never played a game.

Replying To StoreysTash: "That was exactly the reason. There was probably 4-5 Wexford lads at least who won a medal in 96 in the same category. I am not saying this from memory though as I was barely born." The one that sticks out in my mind from the Wexford '96 panel is Liam Turley, originally from Galway and who played with St. Martin's for a couple of years.
He was on the Wexford panel throughout 1996 and got an All-Ireland medal but the first time he ever actually played for Wexford was in the GOAL exhibition match that used to take place at the time, a few days after the final.
He went on to play a few games in the likes of the Oireachtas and Walsh Cups and the South East League (a sort of "bridging" competition that was held at the time, when the National League first moved from an October start to February of the following year). But he never played a single minute in either championship or league.
Still has an All-Ireland medal though, and I'd settle for that myself!!!

Ger Malone of Mullinavat might have one or two without playing, open to correction.
Eoin Reid of Ballyhale played 3 games across 5 years (could have been as a sub) won 4 all Irelands.
Peter Cleere of Black & whites has 2 All Irelands played 1 match ever
Damien Fogarty brother of Conor has an AI & two Leinsters without ever pucking the ball from Castlecomer (Erins Own)
Sean Cummins has 4 AI medals as a non playing sub from the Rower.
PJ Delaney has 4 AI & Leinster medals from Fenians, he played 3 times for Kilkenny.
Aidan Cummins of Ballyhale has 3 AI medals, as a sub. Has a pocketful of club medals with the shamrocks too.
I am not trying to diminish the work these lads put in, just replying to the thread. Without these lads pushing on the starters they would not have been half as good.

I was just curious.
