Kilkenny player won five All-Ireland senior medals in a stellar intercounty career during a period that brought greater commercial opportunities for top players
Still, few could have predicted the superstar Carey would eventually become. His development as a senior intercounty hurler occurred simultaneously with a growth in media coverage of Gaelic games, which in turn created greater commercial opportunities for the top players. And throughout the 1990s Carey was the biggest draw in hurling.He won nine All Stars between 1991 and 2002, and during that period he was named Texaco Hurler of the Year on two occasions and All Star Hurler of the Year once.
The second part of Carey’s intercounty career crossed over with the genesis of what was to become the greatest era in the history of Kilkenny hurling, as Brian Cody constructed an all-conquering black-and-amber empire. Carey was part of Kilkenny’s All-Ireland triumphs in 2000, 2002 and 2003.
