He always produced on the big days in fairness to him. Tough as well.
Wasnāt he wing back? He hit all the frees and a sideline or two over as well. I think Ronan Lynch is similar.
He was midfield. Paudie Mc done untold that day.

Ye make Dublin 2009 sound like 1973 .
Yes he was in midfield that day.
I recall the game as we were in montpellier skulling pints of kilkenny and red wine in an Irish bar.
Ye could have made it to thurles surely 
Look, he was a regular at senior intercounty for 8 years, not many people can say that.
Itās just sad to see players retiring earlier and earlier, when they still have something to offer. I donāt think Gavin would have started next year to be quite honest, but heād be a great fella to have on the bench and would slot in if you needed him to start either. But obviously the commitment needed is absolutely massive and itās very tough if you donāt expect to start, especially for a fella his age. Thatās himself, Wayne, Breen, Walsh all gone by 30/31 and I think they all had something more to offer, if only as subs.
Owes the county nothing though, wish him all the best.

A good hurler who served us well .
He is the first of the 2005 minors to retire , I donāt think he got a decent chance this
year and I assume he was informed of the possibilities next year or else read the tea leaves .
I thought he was a great player and produced his best in the biggest games.

Sad to see him go, a sound man and a fine player, had many a fine display for Limerick. Wonāt be the last we see of him, this fella is going to make a fine coach
Are you gearing up to retain your title of foremost hurling analyst for season 2ā18?
I think I named him as one to watch on afr when he was about 15 or 16. Time flies.
