You’re not the king in this world.
Henry Shefflin was decent at the ol’ hurling.
The Kilkenny man did alright with his career, managing to win 10 All-Irelands for the county and make his name known to one or two houses around the island too.
Yes, with a stick, Shefflin was pretty damn okay.
As a footballer though? Well, we were never to know.

The Cats legend switched allegiances at the weekend to try his hand with the size five ball and it’s safe to say that they didn’t have as much confidence in him in that way of life.

He’s gone from the king, the rain-maker, the magician, to that lad who better not do anything stupid with it.
“Pop it off, Henry!”
We’d have paid good money to see a man of such prestige humbled like that. Probably a little different to Brian Cody’s team talks.
At least that infamous caption is now correct. Nearly.
@downdepairc @ShefflinHenry @BallyhaleGAA @tomas5ky so this should read “Current Kilkenny Footballer” instead? 😉 pic.twitter.com/Cj6alYzZ1I
