The St Finbarr’s man had only just come out of minor ranks in 1973 when Cork won their first All-Ireland football title in 28 years, beating Galway in the final.
Cork legend Jimmy Barry-Murphy has singled out his first and last All-Irelands as a player as well as his only one as a manager as his career highlights.
“At 19, you don’t care, you thought you’d be in Croke Park every year anyway if you’re cocky enough like I was at the time,” he said. “We managed to win the All-Ireland. It was an incredible occasion in Cork at the time. He won the remainder of his five All-Irelands with the Cork hurlers, with the last one also coming against Galway in 1986.
Cork won another All-Ireland in 1990 but struggled for much of the rest of the decade before Barry-Murphy led them out of the wilderness in 1999, as they beat a fancied Kilkenny side in his fourth season at the helm having only had a single Championship victory to his name prior to that.
