This is great to hear from a hurler or any sports athelete. Canning is honest, articulate and not afraid to speak his mind. As a Galway man, it will be a sad, sad day when he leaves the county stage but he such an inspiration to so many kids and hurling fans in general that I'm sure he has a great future in the game should he chose to go down the management/pundit path
Joe your the best hurler for Galway since Tony Keady(RIP) you have nothing to regret you have pulled Galway over the line so many times this year and you nearly did it again in the All Ireland, we as Galweegans are so proud of you, here's to 2019
I am delighted to have been alive and watched this man play. One of the greatest gaa players of all time. We will be talking about him when we are all old.
Who knows. If he was a different character, less humble, he might not have been the same player either. What you can say for sure is he was a phenomenal player.
Nobody can talk about christy ring or Mackey as I doubt very few alive that saw Mackey anyway it indeed ring hurling far more skillful now shefflin tj reid carey canning kelly and lynch in modern day hurling
@@johnjimjam1234 Very hard to judge greatness as who best suppose all had great days in their own way in team sport it harder to judge because of the quality of players around you The better the team the more opportunities you get to score or win matches
Never mentioned john gardner destroyed him in second half and cork won the game what a glory seeker he is,as he proved at the great tony keadys tribute at croke park to try and take the glory away from his team mates give me the 2 mannions and burkes ect any day
The most overated hurler ever, all ways fell short in all ireland finals,cant sprint, cannot solo with a ball,cannot win a ball in open play you have to put it in his hand,looks good against weak teams but put him against tommy walsh tyrell or john gardner and his yellowness shows true a true glory seeker.

Agreed
Retired 2021 as an all time GREAT
All time great and the most prolific scorer of all time in county hurling history
Total class act on and off the pitch. A fantastic ambassador for our great game. So down to earth

Canning King of Kings! The goal in 2012 against the best fullback line ever to play the game was the best ever in Croke Park.
He’s right. Scoring 2-12 set the bar too high for him. He’s only human
I get it, it's a lot of pressure, but sometimes I wish he had a bigger ego. A killer instinct that says I will dominate and get that 2-12 again.

Thanks very much joe for being so great a hurlers.class man class hurler.

Did you never hear of Nicky Rackard, still the top championship goal scorer.
If only he could take back being from Galway
You must be from Clare so because I doubt a Mayo man would care about hurling 😂
