Article on Kilkenny Goalkeeper Ollie Walsh from the 1984 Kilkenny GAA Yearbook. Interesting segment that he was scouted at a young age to play soccer for Waterford. The view from a Scottish International was that he could have made it to the top level in the ‘Foreign Game’

Noel Skehan

Article on Noel Skehan from the 1984 Gaelsport Annual. Before the emergence of the Great Kilkenny Teams led by Brian Cody , Skehan held the record for the most All Ireland winning Medals.

Playing in the full back line on the 1982 and 1983 winning teams just in front of Noel Skehan was Brian Cody, who would go on to become the most successful Hurling manager in history.
