As a reminder to them what real hurlers are about and some class and honour in a Cork hurler here’s part of TG4’s Ringy documentary on the greatest hurler ever. Someone has uploaded this great film to
youtube but split into 6 parts because of youtube’s time restrictions.

My Uncle is in this game featured he is Art Foley who played for Wexord the year they beat Cork in the all Ireland.
He was the goaley in that game many of my family are featured in this clip it was 4 years before I was born. I would like to get a copy of this clip of film if possible. If you can get me one I would be very grateful. My Late parents, Uncle, and grandaunt are on this clip. My maiden name is Maria. Judith, Vienneay Foley. Niece of Arty Foley it was amazing to see their faces appear on the show in the audience and to see my uncle walking out on the pitch with the Wexford team. He is still alive and kicking in america in Matrix.

How fun to find this! Art Foley is my dad and we’ve heard the story of the 1956 All Ireland final all our lives and, of course, the infamous chat between himself and Christy Ring after the save. Then I see a comment from a cousin, Maria O’Connor. Maria, if you see this, email me. I’d love to chat.
