Carey voted 'Kilkenny's best'
June 02, 2017
Kilkenny greats DJ Carey, Henry Shefflin and Eddie Keher.
DJ Carey has been voted as the best Kilkenny hurler of all time.
A record 34 championship goals helped Carey win five All-Ireland SHCs, ten Leinsters, four NHLs and nine All-Star awards.
The Kilkenny People picked their top 25 hurlers that the county ever produced and they voted Carey ahead of the likes of Henry Shefflin and Eddie Keher.
The final vote will be a source of great debate, especially the decision to have Carey at top spot ahead of Shefflin.
Only one current player made the top ten with Richie Hogan coming in at number ten, while his former team mates Tommy Walsh, Eoin Larkin, JJ Delaney and Noel Hickey also make the list.
Frank Cummins and Ollie Walsh make up the top ten in what is an impressive line up of hurlers.
The top ten is as follows:
1. DJ Carey
2. Henry Shefflin
3. Eddie Keher
4. Tommy Walsh
5. JJ Delaney
6. Frank Cummins
7. Ollie Walsh
8. Noel Hickey
9. Eoin Larkin
10. Richie Hogan
