If there's one area in which hurling can count itself especially fortunate, it's in relation to it's leading players. Other sports have so-called heroes in carousing, drug-abusing, semi-illiterates to whom the word "modesty" is as unfamiliar as the phrase "quiet night at home." Hurling, thankfully, has the likes of Brian Corcoran, Nicky English and DJ Carey - gentlemen who've proven that, contrary to popular opinion, nice guys can finish first. DJ Carey not least.
