Pic: Jackie Tyrrell shows the incredible sacrifice he made to be there for Kilkenny’s victory

It will take a lot more than a broken foot to keep Jackie Tyrrell from Croke Park on All-Ireland final day.

Tyrell was an unused sub for Kilkenny's 1-22 to 1-18 victory against Galway in the senior hurling final, having broken a bone in his foot before the semi -final clash against Waterford. Despite not playing a single second of hurling on Sunday, Tyrrell's rousing half-time speech was seemingly instrumental in inspiring the Cats to their 36th championship. Tyrell also received his ninth All-Ireland medal on the day which is remarkable considering the X-Ray of his foot that he shared on Twitter after the game. His toe is more screw than digit. https://twitter.com/MrJackieTee/status/640603160646713346 Nine medals for Tyrrell, one for the screw.
