The Big Interview with Paul Browne: ‘Now that I’m gone, I’d give anything to go back’

Regrets? Paul Browne’s had a few, mostly All-Ireland campaigns thrown away too early due to players’ lack of focus. Injured for that glorious year of Limerick hurling in 2018, he still felt a key part of the team. And he’s continuing to contribute immensely to the Treaty through his role heading the next generation

One of Paul Browne’s ways of coping with the wrench of leaving the Limerick dressing room has been to walk down the corridor in the Gaelic Grounds and fling himself fully into numerous others — not that teams spend much time in such confines these days.

Last year while he was still rehabbing the anterior cruciate that broke down on him in the middle of Limerick’s most glorious summer while he was team vice-captain, county U20 manager Paul Beary invited him on board as a coach.
