John Taylor (hurler)

John Taylor is a retired hurling and Gaelic football player from County Laois, in Ireland. He normally played at left half back in his preferred game of hurling and won eight Laois Senior Hurling Championship medals with his club, Portlaoise, and also won Laois Senior Football Championship medals with the same club. Since ending his playing career he has moved into team management, with Trumera, Mountrath and Laois. Hurling is the Irish stick and ball field game run by the Gaelic Athletic Association, in which players strike a small ball called a sliotar with a stick called a hurley, and left half back is one of the defensive positions. The English Wikipedia article gives no birth year, so none is claimed here.
