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 related to early life:
“... goodness is of a modest nature, easily discouraged, and when much elbowed in early life by unabashed vices, is apt to retire into extreme privacy, so that it is more easily believed in by those who construct a selfish old gentleman theoretically, than by those who form the narrower judgments based on his personal acquaintance.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
