John Doyle Tipperary ‘A IrishLegend’

Friday, December 31st, 2010

John Doyle was a legend in his own life time.


Winning eight All-Ireland medals, eleven League medals, ten Munster Championships, one Minor All-Ireland and six Railway Cup medals, a feat that only the bold Christy Ring could match.

He was a great defender who made a great impact on the GAA and Irish life. The club sends its deepest sympathies to John’s family, his club Holycross Ballyhcahill and to the Tipperary people.

Where Tipp went, Ireland followed“. Ar Dheis De go raibh a anam.

In the club house of Gaeil Colmcille in Kells on Saturday the 11th December, 300 GAA people from all over Ireland paid tribue to Des and his wife Maria on his 80th birthday.

Micheal Ó Muircheartaigh and Kevin Heffernan were the guests of honour and they told great stories about Dessie’s life and how he was such a great player in both GAA Hurling and Football while also being a great human person.

A number of the Barrs members travelled to Kells to honor one of Dublin’s greatest dual Players. To Conor and his family we thank you for the invite and to Dessie and Maria thanks for showing the way to many people with your wisdom and help.
