MARTIN ÓG MORRISSEY played against some of the greatest hurlers of all time. Against Christy Ring and many of the marquee forwards from the late 1950s through to the mid-60s, Óg proved his worth in the colours of Mount Sion, Waterford and Munster time and time again.
Captain and match-winning scorer in Mount Sion's 1953 Harty Cup victory, Martin Óg was No 6 on the team which claimed the Déise's last All-Ireland senior title in 1959 when they lifted the Liam MacCarthy Cup following a replay victory over rivals Kilkenny.
In a team packed with stellar talent, Óg was the granite presence that the greatest summer in Waterford's hurling history was built upon. He proudly won one All-Ireland title, one National League, a treasured Oireachtas title and three Munster Championships - yet he feels he should have won more with his county.
With his playing days behind him, Martin Óg became a respected coach and trainer, who served clubs in both Waterford and Kilkenny with drive, tactical knowledge and insight. This is his story.
