Brian Lohan

Brian Lohan, born on 14 November 1971, is an Irish hurling manager and former player who manages the Clare senior hurling team and is widely considered one of the greatest full-backs of all time. Born and raised in Shannon, County Clare, he began with the Wolfe Tones club, captained it to the Munster Senior Club Hurling Championship in 1996 and won two Clare Club Championship titles. After appearing for the under-21 team in May 1992 he made his senior debut at 21 in 1993 and, in a golden age for Clare, won All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship medals in 1995 and 1997 and three Munster medals in four years. With Munster he won four Railway Cup medals, including as captain in 1996, never losing a game for his province. He collected four All-Stars, was named Hurler of the Year, was selected at full-back on the Munster Hurling Team of the Millennium in September 2000, and was appointed Clare manager in October 2019.
