TALKING SPORT WITH DJ CAREY
Monday August 16th at 9.30pm Channel: Setanta Ireland
DJ Carey is widely regarded as one of the greatest hurlers of his generation, if not the greatest of all-time.
Carey’s status as one of the greats is self-evident. In an amazing senior inter-county career that lasted for fifteen years he won five All-Ireland titles, ten Leinster titles, four National Hurling League titles, two Railway Cup titles with Leinster and 9 All Stars with Kilkenny. His tally of 34 goals and 195 points from 57 Championship games mark him out as one of the top five scorers of all-time.
Off the Field DJ has also experienced success owning and running his own business DJ Carey enterprises.
But it wasn’t always plain sailing playing for his county 'I was doing a huge amount for the GAA, travelling around the country while trying to run a company.... You were tearing your hair out on a Sunday wondering where you're going to get a cheque to keep a business going on a Monday, and then there were all sorts of rumours and criticisms if you didn't play well''.
Setanta’s Marie Crowe talks to undoubtedly one of Ireland’s best known, most successful and favourite sport stars.
