'What a player', 'top class', 'the greatest' - tributes paid after Tommy Walsh's Laochra Gael episode

The Kilkenny great was under the spotlight on TG4 last night.

NINE ALL-IRELAND senior medals, 10 Leinster titles, nine All-Star awards and the leading hurling in the country in 2009.

Tommy Walsh brought the curtain down on his decorated hurling career in 2014 and last night the Kilkenny great’s achievements were back in the spotlight as he got the Laochra Gael treatment on TG4.

There was no shortage of praise from those who watched the exploits of the Tullaroan man.
