Winner of eight All-Ireland medals, part of a famed hurling dynasty, Eoin Larkin has been one of the finest forwards of his generation. Eoin Larkin mimics having a stiff leg, him as an old man labouring on a mattress. Eoin Larkin hurled with Kilkenny for 12 seasons, 2005 to 2016, and won eight senior All-Irelands, the same measure as Christy Ring and John Doyle, a measure was long advanced as impossible to repeat. Relocated to centre-back, Eoin Larkin performed with renewed vigour and purpose. Born in 1984, Eoin Larkin was 35 last July.
