Deepest sympathies to Liam's family on a great loss. I played against him when Kilkenny played New York in the 70s. He was a class player and a gentleman on and off the field. He won a NY Junior Hurling Championship with Galway and was just as excited about that win as any other.

As doctor to the Galway hurling team throughout the 1970s, I became well aware of Chunky as an outstanding hurler. After the 1975 hurling final I helped him celebrate his victory,which included his being named man of the match in Haddington Road, Dublin. Many years later, I often had the privilege of meeting Chunky with members of my family and friends, and we would celebrate his hurling achievements. Chunky was always kind enough to show us his many hurling medals and discuss hurling.
It was a privilege to witness his hurling skills, even from the losing team’s perspective. I am of the opinion that as a midfielder, he is unrivalled in terms of hurling skill and as a person ,he was a gentleman.
I wish to convey my sincere condolences to the family and friends of the late Liam (Chunky) O’Brien, may he Rest in Peace.

Sincere sympathy to all the O’Brien family on the sad passing of Chunky.May he Rest In Peace.
