Bobby Rackard - Post-playing Career

Post-playing Career

In retirement Rackard, along with his brothers Nicky and Billy, came to be regarded as one of the greatest hurling families of all-time. In 1984, the centenary year of the foundation of the Gaelic Athletic Association, he was named on the Hurling Team of the Century selection. In 1992 both Billy and Bobby Rackard’s brilliance was recognised when they were presented with the All-Time All-Star Award for hurling. Rackard’s position as one of the all-time greats of the game was further cemented in 1999 (three years after his death) when he was posthumously named on the Hurling Team of the Millennium.
