One of the greatest of all time Tommy was...and his team mates and Manager and his colleagues. ..that 15 years from 2000 to 2015 was the greatest Dominant peroid of Hurling ever in the GAA history by an intercounty Team 👑👍..Cork Supporter. ...

All Star nine years in a row 2003 - 2011, in four different lines. Right Corner Back, Right Half Back, Left Half Back, Midfield, Left Half Forward. The Greatest Of All Time, bar none.

You cannot take it away from Cody and that great Kilkenny team. There were no weaknesses. Tommy was a terrier. I can not recall him having an off day. He was a class act.

[@deckyoh]

The best all round defender of all time in my opinion...and very nice off the field also...respect from a tipp man

Legend, most of Kilkennys scores started with Tommy gathering at the back and bursting out of the mist of blue /yellow jerseys lookin on , he’d leave them all behind

go on Tommy

[@jimmysavage9061]

Best hurler ever maybe. The crowd knew it too. It's not about the size of the dog in the fight, it's about the size of the fight in the dog, Limerick supporter

[@kingkenny2797]

Far from the best hurler even amd i think he'd admit that himself but certainly a warrior and a fantastic player.

[@jimmysavage9061]

@@kingkenny2797 Lots of different attributes required to make a good hurler. Skill is certainly one. Athleticism another, along with speed, strength, awareness, determination etc. No one player ticks every box, but I think Tommy is higher up the scale in every facet of the game than anyone else I've seen. He could have played in any era, in any position. It's objective obviously, but I don't think I've seen a player ticks as many boxes as the bold Tommy

[@kingkenny2797]

@@jimmysavage9061 yeah he was an absolute class act for sure and what a character which the majority are only finding out afterwards through his punditry. He's a legend of the game already and he broke our hearts more times 👏👍 still I'd put a few ahead of him i think as the greatest but he was absolutely brilliant and he playdd the game as it should have been played. Tipp man here btw

[@jimmysavage9061]

@@kingkenny2797 Good reply Kenny. My dad thought Jimmy Doyle was the best he had seen, but also thought Tommy was great. It'd be great to see Doyle playing in the modern era with a bit more protection. I also loved watching the likes of Joe Deane, who though small in stature, were able to use their skillset and touch to overcome brawn. Other great hurler's like Canning, Sheflin, Delaney, Whelehan, Lynch, etc could have definitely played in any era

[@kingkenny2797]

@@jimmysavage9061 yeah big Joe Canning in his prime was something else, Shefflin top class. I think TJ Reid has been phenomenal for KK. He hasn't had the team Henry had around him and the skill set and engine on his is crazy. He's was everywhere at times. Joe Dean could turn on a sixpence and I'd say a backs worst nightmare to mark. Eoin Kelly for Tipp was probably our greatest player in the modern era i think. How luvky we are to have this game, the greatest game on earth IMO played by dedicated players with passion.
