But to me, you know, we have, as I said, we have heroes in our own club and we had a great guy named Kevin Murphy.
I always speak about him because he was a wonderful guy.
He was part of the actually 95, the 85 minor Wexford team.
He was a selector and I would have grown up with him all the way through my life.
And he was like a daddy to me in terms of hurling with the club.
He'd always look after you, he'd always care for you.
He'd always fill you with confidence.
He'd always believe in you.
And he'd always... He used to always go around with an old pocket of sweets as well.
So he'd always give you an old sweet here and there.
But he was the man that done everything for the club.
He used to watch the jerseys, become a selector, whether it was a minor team or a junior team.
organise hurls, you know, he organised everything within the club, you know, and he used to sell maybe 100 to 150 lotto pocket tickets every week.
So to him, he is a club champion to us, you know, and we really appreciate it for all the work that he has done and he passed away a couple of years ago so he has a lovely statue down there within the club and rightly so because to me, he is a club champion and I must say there is many, many more club champions out there so if there are, please put your name forward for the club champion.
Yeah, to be quite honest, it was probably a journey of a lifetime.
But you're rather have it lasting 10 years rather than just one year.
And as you said, unfortunately, it's 30 years since we won and people are still talking about the team of 96, you know.
Tony Dorn often said, and I heard him on the radio, the great Tony Dorn himself, he spoke about...
You know, why isn't there a new chapter in Hurling?
Why isn't there another group of young men coming through?
