Excerpt: Patrick Oliver Walsh (13 July 1937 - 9 March 1996), better known as Ollie Walsh, was a famous Irish hurling manager and player. He played hurling with his local club Thomastown and was a member of the Kilkenny senior inter-county team from 1956 until 1971. He is widely regarded as one of Kilkenny's greatest-ever players and as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all-time. Walsh's status as one of the all-time greats is self-evident.

Between 1990 and 1995 he guided Kilkenny to back-to-back All-Ireland titles, three Leinster titles and a National Hurling League title.

Walsh's success continued at under-16 level when he won three back-to-back county titles in 1951, 1952 and 1953. He later won a minor county medal in 1954 before winning a junior county title in 196... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=6433669
