Barney Carr, manager of the great Down team that won the all Ireland in 1960 and 61, RIP.

RIP Barney, a legend in Down. Was a relatively young man when he managed Down to those all Irelands.  He wouldn't have been far off the century.

In an incident before the 1977 All-Ireland final, against Wexford, he was hit on the nose during the pre-match puck-around and missed the parade while receiving medical attention. Christy Ring, then a selector is reputed to have told him: "Get back out there. You don't hurl with your nose."

Seanie was some hurler, a wee barrel who knew where the net was and took some stopping. Much was made of JBM beside him, but Seanie produced the goods when the timber was flying.

I think he went to the priesthood for a while, may be mistaken for Pat Hartnett on the same team...

He had only one kidney, a fact Micheal O'Hehir often mentioned in commentary.
