A true Limerick leader
Ecstatic Limerick supporters charge on to the field in pouring rain, many of them clutching umbrellas and the voice of the late Michéal Ó Hehir describes the scenes unfolding on the Croke Park surface.
“Every Limerick player is being carried shoulder high and I think if Limerickmen had an extra pair of shoulders they would put Richie Bennis up there on top,” he says, going on to mention team captain Eamonn Grimes and other players. His daughter ran the tape for him before she went to Australia last September, acknowledging that winning his All-Ireland medal was the highlight of a very successful career.
