Richie Hogan - Big Player for a Small Man

TheCoolWay

Mesmerised at how much of a class act Richie Hogan is. But more so with his versatility despite his size.

I am a bit taller than him but would never dream of playing a GAA match in midfield, centre or full forward! (I don't hurl).

Surely a midfielder would want to be well over 6' especially in hurling these days.

What is his SECRET??

He is an unreal player, knows how to make good use of ball. When Michael D was greeting the players and he was shaking hands with Ritchie the two of them are nearly the same height!!

Was speaking to a KK relation of mine over the weekend about him, he was saying for his size he is tough and takes no prisoners when playing. And he def NOT a dirty player.
I was in awe the last day when KK beat Lim and the 2 shoulders he took before he scored the goal, it didn't effect him!!

I'm from Waterford and would love to have a player like him on the team for us.
The lads on TSG saying he was injured playing the last 15 mins.
Big loss if he is for replay.

Cha Fitz is well forgotten about with Ritchie Hogan around!!

Savage hurler. His size is irrelevant.

Skill, toughness and hard work.

It just shows that you don't need to be 6 foot plus and built like a tank in order to be one of the best hurlers in the country.

Great handballer too

To be fair accurate shooting is crucial, if he had hit 6 wides yesterday instead it would have been quite different
