Griffin leads tributes to Wexford great Wheeler

Liam Griffin has led the tributes to Wexford hurling great Ned Wheeler after his passing yesterday at the age of 87.

Known as one of the great first-time hurlers and for his formidable midfield partnership with Jim Morrissey, the three-time All-Ireland winner (1955, ’56 and ’60) won every possible honour in the game, including six Leinster medals and three Division 1 titles.
