Legendary tribesman to relive magical memories
Former Hurler of the Year and Galway legend, Tony Keady, will play host to the first of this summer’s Bord Gáis Energy Legends Tours at Croke Park on the eve of this year’s Leinster Senior Hurling Final, on Saturday, July 1st at 2pm. The Killimordaly club man will join GAA Museum staff on a very special behind-the-scenes tour looking back on his illustrious career with the Tribesmen.
Tony won back-to-back All-Ireland titles with Galway in 1987 and 1988 during a seven-year inter-county hurling career. He also accumulated two National League titles and was named Texaco Hurler of the Year in 1988. A two-time All-Star, Tony also won an All-Ireland at U-21 level before joining the senior ranks.
Speaking ahead of the Bord Gáis Energy Legends Tour Tony Keady said: “I’m really looking forward to returning to Croke Park to relive some of my greatest memories. When you’re playing, you don’t tend to take a moment to reflect on the successes all that much, but as I look back now I realise how lucky I was to be part of such great teams. I’m excited to see some familiar faces and meet some of the fans at Croke Park on Saturday 1st July.”
