Meet John Coffey: Hurling’s oldest living All-Ireland medal holder

John Coffey is hurling’s oldest living holder of an All-Ireland medal, having turned 99 in January. He played corner forward for Tipperary in the 1945 final win over Kilkenny, scoring the opening goal, writes PM O’Sullivan.

John Coffey is not looking at Niagara Falls so much as listening to it.

He has known noise, Croke Park noise, but nothing like the pour of these waters. 1953, a honeymoon at the Falls, John and Kitty.
