Did the men of thurles spend 20 years drinking from 1970 to 1990?

Gerald and Charlie McCarthy each having an ad in programme. You wouldnât see 2 hurlers having ads for their business much these days .
Didnât Martin Coogan do time for paedophilia
According to his wikipedia profile, yes. Then went back to run his sweet shop in Castlecomer

John Connolly looked like Elvis
Southâs pub has all the all stars posters from the 70s .
