Daly pays tribute to late Wexford ‘colossus’ Rackard

CORK hurling legend Willie John Daly last night described the late Wexford great Billy Rackard, who died aged 79 on Monday, as a “colossus”.

“All that Wexford teams of the 50’s were great men but the three Rackard brothers Nicky, Bobby and Billy stood out by the proverbial mile.

“Billy was a very stylish hurler. He was a terrific and very skilful defender, but first and foremost he was an exemplary sportsman.
