THE word legend is thrown around loosely these days but absolutely nobody, inside Rebel county or in the wider Irish sporting community, would quibble with describing Teddy McCarthy as just that. 

He's the only male GAA player to win All-Irelands in both codes in the same season and his exploits in 1990 secured his status as a Cork great. Denis Walsh was also prominent in '90 but didn't feature in the football victory over Meath.

We in Bride Rovers pass on our sympathy to his family and his large circle of friends as well as his colleagues in Sarsfields and Glanmire GAA
