Shefflin confirms what most already knew — he is the greatest ever
Yesterday, Henry Shefflin achieved what no other hurler in the history of the game has. A ninth All-Ireland senior hurling success on the field of play. Nine, too, for Noel Hickey but Henry’s graced the pitch for each and every one of his. It’s a remarkable story in more ways than one.
In the quest to secure a place in GAA history Shefflin had two cruciate knee ligament injuries to contend with, one in each knee, the first in 2007, the other three years later.
