Ray Cummins: ‘Would I like to have played now? I’m not sure I would have survived’

ne of four men in history to win All-Star awards in hurling and Gaelic football is explaining something.
Ray Cummins is as trim now as when he was redefining forward play 40 years ago in both codes. The former Cork and Blackrock star, full-forward on the hurling team of the millennium, is so strongly identified with his position on the field it’s almost a surprise that that light-blue pullover doesn’t have 14 on the back.
