Description

Padraic Maher is one of the greatest hurlers of his generation and an icon in his beloved Tipperary. Winner of three All-Ireland senior hurling medals and six All-Star awards, Maher was one of Tipperary’s key men for over a decade. While with his club, he ignited a revival that led to seven county titles. But, early in 2022, he was forced to retire due to injury. Here, he looks at the affect the injury and the decision to end his hurling career had on him and, in doing so, takes us back through his life and playing career. From being a central figure in the Tipperary-Kilkenny rivalry, to the trilogy of the Tipperary-Galway All-Ireland semi-finals, to his side of one of the most famous tackles in hurling when challenging Joe Canning on the Hogan Stand sideline, along with personal challenges he’s faced along the way, we are given an insight into what it takes to be a GAA player in modern Ireland.
