Corcoran: Pain of losing the key factor

FEW comebacks have ended in such a blaze of glory as Brian Corcoran’s at Croke Park yesterday.

The Erin's Own player stunned the hurling world in 2001 when he announced his retirement from an arena he had graced with greatness winning Hurler of the Year awards in 1992 and 1999.

As regards his future plans, Corcoran said: "A lot of the Cork lads are now going back into action with their clubs. I have a four-month lay-off and I'm going to enjoy myself. After that I will then decide on the future."
