DJ tops the poll in hurling legends selection

DJ CAREY, Henry Shefflin, Brian Lohan and Seán Óg Ó hAilpín are the most popular hurlers of the last decade, not just with fans across Ireland but, it would appear, among aficionados around the world.

The four received the biggest number of votes (featuring in over 60% of team selections) in the public ballot to select the ‘Guinness Legends’ team formally announced last night in Dublin.

With Shefflin the only other Kilkenny player chosen, DJ appeared in 80% of teams and received in excess of 4,000 more votes than any other player in the full-forward line.
