Jimmy Brohan was probably the best corner back, I have had the pleasure of watching. An incredibly skillful player, he graced the game of hurling in a Cork jersey from 1953-1963, and won one all Ireland and 7 Railway cup medals for Munster, in a period of Tipperary dominance. He was a stalwart of Blackrock hurling club and as they say "we'll never see his likes again " ! Ryanteam (Cork) - Posts: 408 - 22/09/2023 11:12:06 2505164 Link

He would be even more effective and appreciated in the modern age. His nephews Tom and Jim Cashman were also fine stick men. Oldtourman (Limerick) - Posts: 4468 - 23/09/2023 19:36:03 2505353 Link
