Seanie O'Leary (born 25 February 1952) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a left corner-forward for the Cork senior team. Born in Youghal, County Cork, O'Leary first excelled at hurling whilst at school at St. Colman's College. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Cork minor team, before later joining the under-21 side. He made his senior debut during the 1971 championship. O'Leary went on to play a key part for Cork, and won four All-Ireland medals, six Munster medals and four National Hurling League medals. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on three occasions. O'Leary was a member of the Munster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions, however, he ended his career without a Railway Cup medal. At club level he is an intermediate championship medallist with Youghal. His grandfather, Tom Mahony, was also an All-Ireland medallist with Cork, while his son, Tomás, was an All-Ireland minor-winning captain who currently plays rugby with London Irish. Throughout his career O'Leary made 36 championship appearances. He retired from inter-county hurling following the conclusion of the 1984 championship. O'Leary is widely regarded as one of Cork's all-time greatest and most popular players. During his playing days he won three All-Star awards, while he was later chosen as one of the 125 greatest hurlers of all-time in a 2009 poll. In retirement from playing O'Leary became involved in team management and coaching. After an unsuccessful stint as coach of the Cork under-21 team, he was a two-time All-Ireland-winning selector with the Cork senior team. ==Playing career== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seánie O'Leary」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
