A tribute to the late Denis Coughlan

 

The entire Cork GAA community is today mourning the passing of Denis Coughlan of Glen Rovers and St Nicholas’, one of the county’s most distinguished and respected figures, at the age of 80. Denis epitomised the proud dual tradition of Cork GAA, playing and winning at the highest levels in hurling and football for both his clubs and his county. He is especially synonymous with the glory years of the 1970s, playing a central part in numerous successful Cork teams during that era.
In the course of an illustrious playing career, Denis achieved a remarkable array of accolades. As a half-back, he won 4 All-Ireland senior hurling medals with Cork, playing on the victorious 1970 team and on the celebrated three-in-a-row side of 1976-78. He played at centrefield on the All-Ireland winning Cork senior football team in 1973, having previously captained the team in the 1967 final. These All-Ireland medals were complemented by multiple Munster senior hurling and football championship medals, demonstrating his outstanding dual prowess. Denis won 4 National Hurling League medals with Cork, and achieved 4 hurling All-Star awards. He was accorded the Texaco Hurler of the Year award in 1978, and represented Munster at Railway Cup level in both codes.
Denis’s achievements at club level with his beloved Glen Rovers and St Nick’s were no less distinguished. In a similarly golden era for the famed Northside clubs, Denis enjoyed a status similar to that held by such legendary figures as his fellow clubmen Jack Lynch and Christy Ring. He won 5 county senior hurling championships, three Munster titles and two All-Ireland club titles with the Glen, while also garnering two county senior football medals and a Munster club title with St Nick’s. Denis also coached widely at club level, and served terms as chairman of St Nick’s and vice-chairman of Glen Rovers.
For many Cork supporters of a certain generation, Denis’s style and elegance on the field, as well as his numerous achievements, raised him to iconic status in Cork GAA history. He was also a true gentleman off the field, and remained deeply committed to the values of the GAA and to seeing his clubs and Cork remain successful in hurling and football.
The Cork GAA community extends to Denis’s wife Margaret, his son Jonathan, his daughters Margaret-Ann and Ciara, his extended family, his former teammates and his fellow club members in Glen Rovers and St Nick’s, its sincere condolences on his passing.
May Denis rest in peace.
