John Coleman The Man
John Coleman the man who played rugby and with Cork and Millstreet played gaelic football
By many today he is remembered as the man who made big men seem small
In seventy three with Cork he won an All Ireland along with fellow Clubmen Con Hartnett, Humphrey Kelleher and Denis Long
They became heroes of Cork County and were honoured in story and song
Like is said of the past it is in the forever gone
But his tussles with Clonakilty’s big Tim F Hayes in memory lives on
At the hits taken and given between the colossus of Clon and Millstreet’s tigerish centre back
One does have to wonder why bones did not crack
