Teddy McCarthy, the legendary Cork GAA double winner, has died suddenly aged 57.
He was the first and so far only player in GAA history to win both the All-Ireland Senior football and hurling titles in the same year, a feat he achieved with Cork in 1990.
The Glanmire and Sarsfields hero enjoyed a wonderful career that included All-Ireland senior medals across the two codes. He featured as a midfielder as The Rebels beat Galway and then lined out at left-half forward as he helped Cork defeat Meath following painful final defeats to The Royals in '87 and '88.
