The Best of DJ Carey 1991- 2003

My own personal video tribute to one of the Irelands greatest ever hurling players, though many argue DJ was the greatest!. This video is a pick of some of DJ Carey's finest scores and moments from 1991 to 2003.
Denis Joseph Carey (born 11 November 1970 in Gowran, County Kilkenny), better known as D.J. Carey (Irish: Donncha Seosamh Ó Ciara), is a retired Irish sportsperson. He played hurling with his local club Young Irelands from 1988 until 2007 and was a member of the Kilkenny senior inter-county team from 1990 until 2005. Carey is widely regarded as one of the greatest hurlers of his generation, while some commentators rate him as one of the greatest of all-time
Carey's status as one of the greats is self-evident. In a senior inter-county career that lasted for fifteen years he won five All-Ireland titles, ten Leinster titles, four National Hurling League titles and two Railway Cup titles with Leinster. His tally of 34 goals and 195 points from 57 championship games mark him out as one of the top five scorers of all-time. Carey has made more appearances for Kilkenny than any other player and is the county's third highest scorer behind Eddie Keher and Henry Shefflin.
Carey has also been the recipient of many awards and honours off the field. In 1993 his hurling prowess earned him the prestigious Texaco Hurler of the Year award. Seven years later in 2000 he received this honour for the second time as well as being presented with the Eircell Hurler of the Year award. There was some mild surprise when Carey was omitted from the GAA Hurling Team of the Millennium in 2000. He was, however, named in the left wing-forward position on the Kilkenny Hurling Team of the Century. In 2002 Carey equalled Pat Spillane's record by collecting a ninth All-Star award.
Towards the end of his career Carey also served as president of the Gaelic Players Association.

As a Clare Supporter, Always loved getting to play Kilkenny as a kid just to get to see D.J Carey play,, he just had an aura about him 'God Like' I would of gladly paid admission to the game just to see him warm up.. don't get that felling from any other player today..

[@paddypenman2682]

Let's all observe a minute's silence please for his bank account

[@raymomull2258]

Genius............at faking cancer & conning money.

[@Therazorsedge999]

Great player, one of the best of all time

[@barrydoherty6939]

He owes me a tenner.

[@nolan1432]

Brilliant upload great selection of footage!

[@davykelly7558]

DJ had perfect balance, that's what made one the greats,and I'm a tipp man.

[@ColmDowling]

good tune great video . thanks for sharing

[@conorm2524]

Give that man a fuckin millimetre of space and its a goal. Majestic animal.

[@rickster5120]

Absolute lightning...only when u saw him live u could see just how quick he was

[@athbhriainabu11]

Cheers man.....I needed a epic trancer for this video!

[@MrRbturkey]

The quickest player to react to a breaking ball ever, broke my heart many a year!

[@sineadcrowley3314]

Wow u Burke

[@killahan1]

The best have seen in nearly 50 years of going to hurling games

[@jimmycollins3881]

What a player but Jesus that hurl looks about 10 sizes too big It seemed to work alright for him though

[@johnrobinson6645]

The best I ever saw

[@transPlanko]

get well soon DJ, some legend of the game.

[@irishhistoryman]

God rest Bingo Brennan @ 0:13... passionate lifelong Kilkenny supporter... her husband was a passionate lifelong Tipp hurling man and supporter , though they lived in Kilkenny for many years. He died earlier this year... Ar dheis Dé go raibh a nAnamacha úsail

[@pramseyer]

great Hurler and a great guy...

[@rorybrennan360]

Shame what he ended up doing.

[@collykeogh]

jesus boys you forget how much of a hurler he was

[@williamwalsh5121]

the best of all time???? maybe. he is without doubt the most SKILLFULL hurler of all time. people who look to DJs scoring record and say his does not match Rings, henrys or kehers simply do not know hurling. DJ was a goal getter..... but first and foremost he was a play maker. his vision is what seperates him from the rest. some of the passes he made were pure mind boggling

[@ciaranfahy4689]

Wb Jimmy Doyle And John the strong defender

[@irishhistoryman]

Massive!!

[@suirside6378]

AT 5.24 2 of the greatest players of all time team up to make a brilliant goal

[@Keepinitreal2011]

Anyone notice the penalty?Dj had that mastered well before Nash. Dj is in the top 3 best ever in my opinion.

[@petermernagh9991]

I'd narrow it down to top 1

[@donnachadoyle6629]

Dj Carey and Christy ring are definitely on par for best hurlers ever

[@donnachadoyle6629]

From a cork man

[@grangerpj]

class

[@hibernian797]

D.J Carey only got better as time went on. In his early career he hand't fully come into his style. His point in 2002 was the best ever

[@thepoweroftruth3624]

I wanna know about the background music. Where can i find it?

[@StFidjnr]

@ 1:58 this is the best goal clare manager ger loughnane has seen

[@billnye1886]

With my club ive scored 15-89

[@pascanlons400kg8]

I'd say that's in a minor C training Match was it ?

[@fuzzi584]

christy ring is the greatest ever he played for 28 years he won 13 cork club titles 9 munster titles 8 all-irelands and 18 railway cups dj's good but cant hold a candle to ring

[@donnachadoyle6629]

Both on par for best ever in my opinion from a cork man

[@johnjimjam1234]

shefflin is the greatest ever

[@athbhriainabu11]

@atourdeforce I agree DJ is the greatest ever, better than Ring!

[@davidkirby8836]

DJ was an artist. He made people want to play hurling. Some people at the time were slow to understand his play especially from 97 on as he matured. He played on some average KK teams. I was at 99 final. His general play on a brutal day was very decent. Very scores from play as final score was 0 13 to 0 12. Regularly hacked at on and off the field. All agenda based stuff.

[@athbhriainabu11]

@plug007 Its '90 Nights Of Summer' by BART CLAESSEN

[@LimerickWarrior1]

Only thing Eoin Kelly would beat D.J. at Is in either a drinking compettion or a pie eating contest.

[@athbhriainabu11]

@caylumd2k11 Cheers man!

[@mattishere5741]

Henry and dj are the about the same because they used to like each other henry scors 65s and dj scors by play

[@oisinkierancoyle5518]

DJ as a retired hurler is not above the law.

[@liamg353]

you cant be serious, DJ,. Shefflin, Tommy Walsh,etc. would lose him,Most of the scores he gets are from frees, now he's not bad but has a long way to go to be up with them.

[@thoskel1]

Which year did he almost single handedly defeat Galway?

[@JC-ip8ur]

How many years has he been scamming people pretending to have cancer?

[@dannymorrissey3301]

1997 in a qualifier

[@stevehoyne]

genius!!!!

[@athbhriainabu11]

@thatsdshot Christy Ring?!

[@liamg353]

They may come and go but there is only 1 D.J .Henry Shefflin , Tommy Walsh, Eddie Keher, not far behind.

[@jackcomerford7889]

UP THE CATS

[@mattiboi1357]

If he was from cork he would still be playing :L

[@moocow1713]

@thatsdshot The King?

[@transPlanko]

putting Sean Og in the same sentence as DJ is laughable. Sean Og is lucky to be even back on that panel, only because JMB has no one else to pick from.

[@suirside6378]

GWAN DJ YA LEGEND

[@liamg353]

@deLasChivas Yeah it does, easily

[@plug007]

lads whats this tune?

[@plug007]

@athbhriainabu11 cheers dude.

[@Lisnageeragh]

Was he better than Sheflin or Keher? I think Keher might be the best.....Canning could be the greatest yet ....but he has not the backing of a team like Kilkenny.

[@chick262]

Great tune ,what is it

[@blaknblond]

facts

[@gaelicdoggg]

joe canning is the best ever. no doubt

[@transPlanko]

if he was from Cork he'd probably be on strike!

[@blaknblond]

too many all irelands he flopped in98,99,04...when he was needed most

[@petermernagh9991]

The music choice ruined this

[@martinocallaghan590]

likely it was a different song when uploaded. youtube removes music for copyright reasons and replaces with its own inhouse music

[@madforhurling2881]

Yeah shame he only managed to win All Ireland's in 92,93,00,02 & 03(captaining that year), NHL's 90, 95, 03 & 05, Leinster 91, 92, 93, 98, 99, 00, 01, 02, 03 & 05 and All Stars 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 97, 99, 00 & 02. He really doesn't have a good enough record at all.

[@declanmurphy417]

leinster was a load of bollocks

[@brendanCominsky]

Plus handball all-Ireland’s and one world championship

[@atourdeforce]

@athbhriainabu11 sorry but ring just isnt as good.

[@mjlyons4859]

He could never play cork

[@brendanCominsky]

Mj Lyons sure he got the winning goal in the 1992 all-Ireland against Cork!

[@jasonryan3259]

Not fit to lace Eoin Kellys boots

[@JamesAHogan]

Hideous background noise/music.

[@athbhriainabu11]

I got pulled by KZbin for the copyright on the original tune I had for this video. I had to choose another from the KZbin music library, there's not a great selection to choose from!

[@spanisheye100]

Very little against top 3 teams. all weaker counties.Shefflin is the KING

[@yuup83]

joe canning the greatest?????not yet anyway,has every skill in the game but theres only 1 great,king henry is the man to top
