Tipperary mourn hurling legend Liam Devaney

Liam Devaney, a five-time All-Ireland medal winner with Tipperary, died yesterday.

A native of Borrisoleigh, Devaney won the first of his five All-Ireland SHC medals at full-forward on the all-conquering Tipperary team of 1958.

He was centre-forward when picking up his second Celtic Cross in 1961, midfield in ’62, came on as a sub in ’64 and was left half-forward on the team which beat Wexford in the 1965 decider.
