as a Corkman .I could listen to this Great man all day.a fantastic storyteller.

My great grandad is NICKEY RACKARD 🏑🏑

Most incredible Cork match I was ever at. The excitement was off the charts that day . Nothing will ever touch Tipp and Cork in Thurles .

Love these old stories . His son Paul taught me at school The Rattler a Legend of Tipperary Hurling History .. lived up the road from my grandmother, my grandmother told similar stories . Proof of how great the Irish are for stories . And those days unless you have blood on your face , you haven't played real hurling ..

What an amazing team,they had amazing knack of getting goals,brilliant goals,this what separates Kilkenny from the rest,and future Kilkenny teams did the same. Best hurling team I have ever seen,incredible consistency they were a juggernaut pulverised any team that stood in its way. They also had the amazing ability to get the job done well before halftime and run up incredible high scores. Amen

Every county has storytellers like Rattler , probably a bit biased but hilariously entertaining. As he said, hurlers who would literally " have your life " on the field became lifetime friends with opponents , because they respected the fact that each one was doing it " for the love of their own little village " . That was the true spirit of the GAA and long may it remain that way..

What a great character, could listen to him for hours.

Mad to look back at this now 13 years later on the eve of Limerick playing to reach their 5th All-Ireland in 6 years.

Left Thurles broken hearted. Cork got the breaks on the day, but what a game, two great teams giving it everything for the jersey. Those were Tipps wilderness years. Now Cork are going through theirs. The greatest rivalry in Irish sport. Nothing beats Cork and Tipp in Thurles on warm July Sunday. The passion, the skill, the pride in the Jersey. The craic, between the supporters walking up from the square to the field.

His nickname tells you all you need to know about his playing style 😅

And we'll head down for an aul "BPINT"

Apart from a fantastic hurlers a real gentleman

2:17 😆 🤣 😂

Seanie o leary always a hero to me

Great stories Jimmy Smyth vissited the Rattler one night .Outside was an oil lorry thought he had changed jobs .Inside was The great Christy Ring.@ 2 hurling balls everywhere .The Rattler came to Willie John Dalys removal .Theres loyalty for you.

Forwards get all the Glory for goals in this case Denis Mulcahy's interception was Crucial in the build up to Séany learys goal he took it well...@paddy Sullivan Cork

My god all them yrs ago

Easy to see where Pat Shortt gets some of his characters.

You're Ok Joe, Ollie and Damien Hayes too...you did us as a county proud boys, and I will never forget that, for as long as I live....!

Id listen to him all day. Great man

From a Neutral point of view, no team deserved to lose that match, but they had be a winner.

Rip Sean o leary

The only time I ever recall Cork being outnumbered in Thurlas…

Thanks for the memories, Seánie - RIP.

Rip Seanie never forget guys you don't play hurling with your nose :(

And this video sums up Galway's lack of success at inter county.

Real chararchter heard he was hard as nails

Much thanks for the upload!

Can you upload tipp vs clare 2019 and tipp vs limerick 2019 munster round Robin in thurles and tipp vs dublin 2017 qualifier full match

Best game of hurling. I have ever seen,a blood and thunder classic/epic.

Great days Cork had massive belief in there jersey and there Sport...what a contrasting situation today...22 years since a NHL was won...going 16 years for a Ireland title...we seem to be accepting to be 4th or 5th now in the Hurling world😧

Denis Mulcahy's interception in which led to Sean O Leary's goal was Crucial. ..Cork were Going to die in there boots to the final whistle, Great Team.. Will Never forget them....when you think how Cork have Fallen in to almost a Division 2 Team now...its very disappointing. ...@paddy Sullivan

Ivan seems like a bit of cocky fucker

Congratulations Tipperary 1990 a classic. Up Tipperary . Tipperary are magic . Hip hip hooray 1990 .

John power 1991 took off 1993 afraid of Jerry McInerney 1999 Brian Corcoran man of the match ?? 2000 won a handy medal

It's so bizarre looking at this in 2020 and just thinking how utterly ridiculous that somebody had to come home from a holiday because he was gay. I'd certainly hope things are different now..

they've come along way

An awful pity the cameramen hadn't a clue

Great speech by pat fleury after the 1985 final, he was always going to mention pat of course, shame he wasn't well enough to play that day,

Grandad Jimmy butler Coffey ✊

R.i.p rattler

the voice of reason

My grandad is tommy Boland the Galway goalkeeper 🙌🏻 and my cousin is Cian Boland who plays for Dublin 💪🏻

I watched this game on TV in Cork with 2 tech guys from Tipp. They were so pissed. Like really really pissed for years after. Never wanted to talk about that game. Any other game was fine but that game really pissed them off.

One of the only recordings of Nicky Rackard playing. Possibly the greatest hurler in history, even today no one can come close to beating his goal record. He also has the most scores in a single match where Wexford beat Antrim and Rackard scored 7 goals and 7 points. A legend of the sport.

Flaherty's "hand of god" moment!! Great match.

Was 6 years of age got lost after it nd a great man picked me up nd years later he died very saddle in Spain never forget dat day in croker

Fame hungry prick! Do anything do media attention

Wheres the rest?

A True Legend of our Great Game,
