A great hurler. Definitely one of Galway's greatest ever. Only four Galway men have ever lifted McCarthy to the sky on the day that matters, and David Burke is one of them. Mick Kenny, Joe Connolly, and Conor Hayes were the other three, in case anyone did not know that. David Burke gave it all for club and county, and no more than that can be asked. Hope he stays involved in the game in some capacity. foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2411 - 19/12/2025 13:44:23 2648852 Link

I knew as soon as I seen him hurling in 2004 he would captain Galway. BigBàsMan (Galway) - Posts: 240 - 19/12/2025 16:18:18 2648867 Link
