Tipperary great Mick Burns is to be laid to rest on Saturday following his passing on Wednesday.
The Nenagh Eire Og clubman was at the coalface for one of Tipperary hurling’s most glorious eras, winning five All-Ireland medals (1958, ‘61, ‘62, ‘64, ‘65).
Largely playing at right half-back, he also won eight Munster senior titles and six National Leagues, while he claimed Munster and All-Ireland honours at minor level in 1955.
