Early Life
Billy Rackard was born in Killanne, County Wexford in 1930. The youngest son in a family of five boys and four girls, he was born into a family that was mildly interested in sport. His granduncle had played with the famous Wexford football team that captured four All-Ireland titles in-a-row between 1915 and 1918. In spite of this, it was with the small ball that Rackard enjoyed major success, together with his brothers Nicky and Bobby.
