Three footballers retire

1 NOEL SKEHAN - (Kilkenny; 7 awards, 1972-76, ’82-83) - Spent a long time, maybe too long, on the bench behind Ollie Walsh. Forwards hated him. Great shot stopper and controller of the ball in days when sliotar was bigger and heavier. Played squash and his eye-to-hand co-ordination was unbelievable.

1 BILLY MORGAN - Cork, 1 award, 1973 - This came down to two names – John O’Leary of Dublin was the other. But Morgan takes it for me because he was just such a leader. Football was the poor religion in Cork and Billy wouldn’t have that. He was an exceptional goalkeeper and a brilliant captain.
