Eudie Coughlan

Eudie Coughlan, who lived from 26 August 1900 to 4 January 1987, was an Irish hurler whose league and championship career with the Cork senior team spanned thirteen seasons from 1919 until 1931. Born in Cork into a strong hurling family, he had a father and several uncles who won All-Ireland medals with Cork in the early years of the championship. He played club hurling with Blackrock, made his senior debut in 1918, lined out in twelve county finals and won seven county senior championship medals. Added to the Cork senior panel in 1919 at nineteen, he won five All-Ireland medals, starting as a non-playing substitute in his debut season, followed by three titles in four seasons between 1926 and 1929 and a fifth as captain in 1931. He also won seven Munster medals and two National Hurling League medals, played his last game for Cork in November 1931, and was joined on the team by his brother John.
