Bhí Johnny Pilkington lárnach ar fhoireann cháiliúil Uibh Fhailí na nóchaidí agus é ar dhuine de na carachtair is mó sa spórt.

Tharla roinnt de na heachtraí ba cháiliúila san iomáint riamh & é ag imirt; ón “five minute final” go dtí an agóid i 1998. Tá neart scéalta faoi Johnny agus craos, a bhí áibhéalach uaireanta agus go minic inste ag an bhfear féin. Ach d’ainneoin go gceaptar go ndearna sé dóigh den spórt agus dá bhuanna, tá tábhacht doimhin ar leith leis an iománaíocht do Johnny P, agus beidh go deo.

Johnny Pilkington was the heartbeat of the mighty Offaly team of the 90s, and one of the game’s true characters.

Johnny was at the heart of some of hurling’s great dramas; from the five-minute final to the infamous ‘98 sit-in. Tales of Johnny’s off-field excesses were many, and sometimes, but not always exaggerated, often by the man himself. The myth that he took the game and his talents for granted couldn’t be further from the truth. Hurling has, and always will, had a deep and profound meaning for Johnny P.
