Fair play on getting William OāDonovan for the 2020 team. 
What was the Limerick team in 1980? Iād have Tommy Quaid, Leonard Enright, Mossie Carroll, Brian Carroll, Dom Punch, Dave Punch, Eamonn Cregan, Joe McKenna, Sean Foley, Liam OāDonoghue, John Flanagan, Willie and Paudie Fitzmaurice. Was Ollie O Connor on that team?
He was
Age must be catching up on me. Forgot a couple of obvious ones. 116/120.
Cregan must be Limerickās greatest ever player for longevity alone.
Even the Tipp team in the New York championship is backboned by a lad from Doon. Still, thereās always the memories of Lar Corbett running after Tommy Walsh the time they cracked hurling.
Longevity was different then - in 9 of his 19 years he played 1 match. Played 40 championship games in 19 years altogether
Deccie has 13 years done and played 58 championship games
Tough to keep going back year after year, often for only one championship game.
I donāt think the commitment was as much back then. But it is an amazing achievement to play almost 20 years, not trying to knock itā¦ just a bit of contrast
I remember in his review of the 1982 championship year Kevin Cashman noting that Cregan was the only Limerick player to play with aplomb against Waterford but at that stage of his career all Cregan had left was his plomb.
The hardest one from 1980 (for me, anyway) is Donal Murray but obviously shares his name with a member of the 07 team so you can get a 2-for-1
He played Limerick football and hurling for the start of his career, but again, that wouldnāt have added a whole pile to his work load
Was a great schools player and minor too before that.
Did you see him.play schools?
There was always a bit in the program player profiles about Olly being able to point 65ās as an under 12.
The news about English confirmed.
Which English?
