Records
Eddie Keher's list of achievements is staggering. He won six All-Ireland medals, ten Leinster titles, and three National Hurling League medals during his 21-year career with Kilkenny. His nine Railway Cup medals with Leinster remain a provincial record. Individually, he was a five-time All-Star, the Texaco Hurler of the Year in 1972, and was selected for both the Hurling Team of the Century and the Hurling Team of the Millennium. His scoring record of 35 goals and 336 points for Kilkenny stood for over three decades, a testament to his remarkable consistency. Keher's ability to perform on the biggest stage, evidenced by his 93 points in All-Ireland finals, sets him apart as one of the greatest forwards the game has ever seen.
