Hurling Hands: Paul Flynn - 'I played against Limerick with an infection and a broken thumb'

"I pulled off the glove and my finger was all bent out of shape. Tony Sheridan, who went on to play for Coventry, came over: ‘That’s not broke.’ He caught it and yanked it into some kind of shape, and I ended up being able to play the game."

"I played most of my career with just two hurleys, and they’re probably not the best-looking sticks you ever saw," says former Waterford hurler Paul Flynn. Picture: Damien Eagers / SPORTSFILE

My hands? They’re beautiful, there’s very little wrong with them!
