Teddy McCarthy was remembered as a humble man who never drew any attention to himself at his funeral mass in St Joseph’s Church in Glanmire on Saturday.

Teddy died suddenly on Tuesday at the age of 57. He wrote himself into the storied pages of GAA history in 1990 by becoming the first and only player to win All-Ireland inter-county hurling and football medals in the same season.
