Summary

Anthony Daly was the most successful captain in the history of Clare hurling, leading the county to two All-Irelands and three Munster titles. First appointed Clare captain at just 23, he retained the role for eight seasons. Regarded as an absolutely inspirational figure by his fellow players, the captaincy was a natural extension of his personality. It was that innate leadership and character which prompted the players, just three years after he had finished playing with Clare, to pursue Daly as manager. When he took over in the autumn of 2003, he was just 34 and was one of the youngest hurling inter-county managers ever appointed. Here, Dalo takes us from his early days growing up in Clarecastle through the graveyard years of the early part of his career with Clare through to the golden years and the extension into management.
