Plans under way for sculpture to honour Cork GAA legend Teddy McCarthy

Teddy Mac, as he was known far and wide, made history in 1990 when he played in the Cork senior teams which won both the All-Ireland hurling and football titles, a feat which has not been repeated

Plans are being drawn up to erect a sculpture in honour of Cork GAA legend Teddy McCarthy — the only man to win senior All-Ireland hurling and football medals in the same year.

A special fundraising committee has been formed by the many friends and clubmates of the dual star, who died unexpectedly last June at the age of 57.
