Early Life
Tony Doran was born in Boolavogue, County Wexford in 1946. He was educated locally and first started playing hurling in the Nicky Rackard Under-14 League. Doran later joined the famous Buffer's Alley club where his skills were nurtured and developed further. In 1954 he made his first trip to Croke Park to see Nick O'Donnell lead Wexford to victory in the All-Ireland final. These great All-Ireland triumphs of the 1950s inspired Doran and he soon began playing for Wexford himself.

Famous quotes containing the words early life, early and/or life:
“... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“And early in the morning he came walking toward them on the sea.”
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 14:25.
“I feel a sincere wish indeed to see our government brought back to it’s republican principles, to see that kind of government firmly fixed, to which my whole life has been devoted. I hope we shall now see it so established, as that when I retire, it may be under full security that we are to continue free and happy.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
