GAA journalism

[Plain of the Herbs]

Correct, Hardy.  But what he wrote was factually incorrect due to carelessness and/or laziness.

Everyone knows that Damian Lawlor beats two short planks when it comes to relative density, but he takes the biscuit today.  "One thing that can never be taken away from him (Teddy McCarthy), however, is his status as one of the GAA's finest dual players - he remains the only man to win senior All-Ireland hurling and football titles, achieved when Cork did the double in 1990."

Er, Jack Lynch, Jimmy Barry Murphy, Ray Cummins, Liam Currams.

What yer man missed was that Teddy was the only one to win his hurling and football medals in the same year.
