One of Tipperary’s finest ever hurlers has passed away.

During his time with the Premier he won 3 All Ireland winners medals as well as 5 Munster and 3 National League titles.

The renowned centre-back was also on the Carrick Davins team that won the Munster club title in the 60s.

Mick was chosen as one of the 125 greatest hurlers of all time in a 2009 poll.

A proud Carrick man he had been living in Horse & Jockey.
