Replying To Trucker1:  "RIP to Art Foley. A true legend of the game. Condolences to his family"
Did he play in goal for Wexford, he made a great save from the late Christy Ring in the 1956 All Ireland Final?. Ring went in and shook his hand afterwards. A legend of the games, may he rest in peace.
Wexford won that final, and chaired Ring off the field after the game.
Those were different times. Maybe someone from Wexford will confirm if I am right.
