Jimmy Doyle of Tipperary: A Revelation To Watch In Action In His Prim
Only a few hurling forwards equate Jimmy Doyle for sheer modesty and hurling charisma. Christy Ring, Eddie Keher and Mick Mackey, are in everyones hall of fame. Jimmy Doyle is also right at the very top.The majority of hurling legends from bygone eras went out and played their natural attacking game and let the ball and hurley do the talking. Soloing was the privilige of the fearless and very skillful exponents of forward play in the Tipp man's era.
