Charlie McCarthy and John Quane to join Munster Hall of Fame

Cork hurling legend Charlie McCarthy and former Limerick footballer John Quane are the latest individuals to be inducted into the Munster GAA Hall of Fame.

McCarthy, who will be honoured at the Munster GAA awards this Saturday, won the first of his five All-Ireland SHC medals in 1966, having also been part of the all-conquering Cork U21 team that same year. He was top-scorer during the 1970 final win over Wexford, hitting 1-9 from right corner-forward.

The St Finbarr’s forward held onto the number 13 shirt during the county’s three-in-a-row success between 1976 and ‘78, top-scoring in the ‘78 final victory over Wexford. He was captain for that particular campaign and rounded off the year by collecting his third All Star.
