	Nicky Rackard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nicky Rackard was born in Killane, County Wexford on April 28, 1922.
		Rackard died at St. Vincent's Hospital in Dublin in 1976.
		Nicky Rackard is generally regarded as perhaps one of the greatest hurlers of all-time.

	Irish Abroad - Irish American News
		The Rackard brothers from Killanne are one of the most famous families in the history of hurling and they became instrumental in the rise of game in the Model County in the ’50s when the four lined out in the Leinster final of 1951.
		Nicky is regarded as one of the iconic figures in the game and, together with his brother Bobby, was named in the hurling team of the century.
		Nicky Rackard’s younger brother Bobby was an equally powerful man and was distinguished by the fact that he always wore a cap.

		Bobby, Billy and Nicky were the three brothers who formed the cornerstone of the greatest team ever to come out of the Model County, performing herculean feats in Croke ark as the Slaneysiders took on and beat the traditional strongholds with a great deal of panache.
		Nicky, Bobby and Billy were, of course, automatic choices, and the Wexford selectors, continuing their quest for a custodian, called in a fourth Rackard as netminder, Jimmy.
		Nicky Rackard struck for several crucial scores again as Wexford retained their title on a 2-14 to 2-8 scoreline, but the memorable incidents did not finish with the final whistle.

	IT MUST BE TIPP
		They had won the 1945 Leinster football title, when the team included Nicky Rackard, but when they qualified for the 1951 All-Ireland hurling final, it was their first All-Ireland appearance for thirty-three years.
		It is remarkable to think that in the years leading up to this final, Wexford actually had to wear a jersey of blue and gold hoops, as their famous purple and gold colours were considered an economic indulgence by the manufacturers of the day, in the post-war climate of financial rectitude.
		Nicky Rackard proved completely unmanageable in that final, finishing with 3-2 from play, and built a strong foundation for his great reputation, which ensures that his omission from the team of the millenium was cringe-inducing, and indeed diminishes the credibility of that team in my eyes.

		Louth were level at 0- 2 each with London when they struck for two goals by Barry Shortall and Dave Burke in the fourteenth and fifteenth minutes of the game.
		London have a big pick of players from many counties so they will pose a big problem to Louth in their bid to take the Nicky Rackard Cup, the trophy for what is in effect an All-Ireland for counties in the third tier.
		It is a step up for Louth as London have already experience playing in the Ulster Championship but if they respond positively to the experience and the atmosphere of playing in Croke Park then they are in with a chance of an upset.
