Love it
He said in an interview about where the magic etc came from and another legend was mentioned , like him I had the music, Irish dancing, nationalist outlook, republican family background, small village,
Interviewer says “ yes but Christy how do you differ greatly from him and other great hurlers?”Ringy didn’t miss a beat /
I’d something else also “ I was a genius”
Much to the annoyance of many but all true, he devoloped skills unknown by most at that time , played at the highest level until 46/47 years of age, didn’t suffer fools gladly ref hurling, and literally ate and drank hurling, played squash,golf etc always competive, trained in the Glen boxing club winter time, when all other hurlers were off season and taking it easy,
Ringy went to work with a hurl and practiced before, during and after work , was small but ferocious fit , like all legends he was a natural but he put in the work to become and maintain that status

No one ever said he was a lovely fella or a gentle soul . He was a fairly blunt Man and was “ able to look after himself “ on the field .

When talking he used to refer to himself in the third person. Never a good sign.
BinkyBarnes would never do something like that
