FORMER Limerick TD Eddie Wade has not missed an All-Ireland hurling or football final since the mid-1960s – until this year.
The Drombanna man believes he is in a minority of one, having witnessed every hurling final in person, from Tipperary’s win over Kilkenny in 1964, to the Premier County’s victory over the same opposition last year.
On top of this, he has been at Croke Park for every football decider from Galway’s win over Meath in 1966, to Dublin completing their historic five-in-a-row last season.
