If Henry Shefflin was in any doubt about his place in Irish sporting folklore he need only do a quick google search or have a squint at any of the newspapers over the last few days. Expect more blanket coverage over the weekend.
Here's why.
High praise from one of the biggest stars of the current generation.
The greatest there ever was and ever will be @ShefflinHenry #KingHenry #happyretirement

Cork's Conor Cusack captured the moment well
I think this man had the likes of Henry Shefflin in mind when he once said"The best hurlers are here and yet to come" pic.twitter.com/7lgu9UVcJW

The man himself admits it's been a rollercoaster of a week.
While on Noreside I also had the opportunity to speak to his wife Deirdre, as well as Dad Henry Snr. and Mum May.
And what next for the greatest hurler of his generation, possibly of all time? Enjoy Henry!
