One of the truly greats. A mid field maestro. It was a pleasure to have seen him play. R.I.P.

A class player who would have adorned any team in any era. One of the best midfielders I've seen. RIP. midlands (Westmeath) - Posts: 532 - 24/08/2021 20:05:15 2374486 Link 1 |

He used to call into my uncle's pub when he was in Dublin in the 80s and 90s. Nice man and had great yarns about his playing days. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2465 - 25/08/2021 18:04:15 2374750 Link 1 |
I got to know Liam from his trips to Offaly with the Smithwicks lorry and Birr in particular. A nice man and a great hurling chat every week was had, I was a bit young when he actually hurled, I was 9 when he retired, but I did see him on All Ireland Gold a few times and what a player he was, I dont care what anyone says they just dont play the game like that any more and hurling is all the poorer for it. RIP to his family and may he RIP, I am lucky enough to say I knew and had manys the chat with Liam. Gone, but not forgotten.
