60 not out

Today, the greatest manager in the history of hurling turns 60. Here we celebrate Brian Cody’s birthday by ranking just as many of his most important victories.

1. 2012 All-Ireland final replay, beat Galway 3-22 to 3-11

“The sweetest,” as the Cats themselves described it. Cody’s ninth All-Ireland title. Bossed in the Leinster final by Galway, they returned to winning ways in style.
