Cork hurling and football legend Teddy McCarthy dies aged 58 via IrishTimesSport
Prominent from an early age, he won three All-Ireland under-21 football medals with Cork between 1984 and ‘86. In the county’s breakthrough year in 1989 when under Billy Morgan, a first All-Ireland in 16 years was captured, Teddy McCarthy was Footballer of the Year.
Teddy McCarthy also won national league medals in both football, 1989 with a win over Dublin, and hurling after a three-match epic against Wexford in 1993. Nicky English, hurling analyst for The Irish Times, paid tribute to an opponent that he had played many times. “He was an exceptional player with phenomenal aerial ability. One of my favourite hurling pictures is of him in the 1993 league final, soaring over the Wexford midfield.
