Larry O'Gorman is a legend around Wexford Town.

Not only did "Brother" claim the hurler of the year award in 1996 when Wexford won their last All-Ireland, but he has foiled crimes on the Main Street and is generally considered an all round leg-end. So, who better to show former ice hockey goaltender Alex Auld the basics of hurling ahead of his debut for Faythe Harriers on The Toughest Trade on Friday night. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/840333894239047682 Along with letting Alex know the power of the arse and hips in our ancient sport, "Brother" gives Alex a handy way of remembering the key skills of hurling.
"Hook it, block it, pick it, roll it, kick it and flick it."
