Wicklow’s 125 greatest players.

Annacurra are honoured to have had four great servants of the club selected on Wicklow’s 125 greatest football players.

Tom Carr, a member of the 1955 senior final team represented Annacurra and Wicklow for many years and mainly played in midfield and defence. Tom is the first Annacurra man to appear on this list at 122.

At 108, Donal Kavanagh was one of the best goalkeepers Wicklow has ever produced and hails from Annacurra. He was unlucky to be playing in an era where competition for the Wicklow goalkeeping position was tough.

At number 25 and 12 are John and Joe TImmons. John and Joe both won an All-Ireland title with Dublin and amazingly both never played for Wicklow at the same time. John will be perticularly remembered as scoring a goal that defeated Meath in 1957 and in 1958 both men were on the victorious Dublin All-Ireland team.

Syl Ivors also made his name on the 125 greatest hurlers in Wicklow’s history. Syl comes in at 114 and he played the majority of his hurling with the Avoca club and also with Wicklow but he will be remembered in Annacurra as the captian of the victorious double winning League and Championship hurling team in 1991.

Its a fitting tribute to some of the greatest names of the parish and the club are privileged to have had these players around.
