Anthony Daly

Two‑time All‑Ireland–winning captain and former Dublin and Clare manager, Anthony Daly, is a much-respected pundit and columnist as well as ringmaster in chief on the hugely-popular Dalo’s Hurling Show.

I was coming out of a shop on Wednesday evening when I picked up a newspaper where an article that referred back to an interview Liam Griffin did 23 years ago caught my eye. Four years after Griffin led Wexford to the 1996 All-Ireland title, his inspirational oratory skills in guiding Wexford to the Promised Land were fully evident in that piece, where his passion for the game was dripping off the page like fresh ink.

“If someone can market coloured gripe water, call it Coca-Cola and clean up worldwide,” he said, “we should be able to sell hurling in Longford.”
