Dan Quigley

Daniel Quigley (born 1944) is an Irish retired hurling coach and former player who played as a full-back and as a centre-back with the Wexford senior team.

Born in Donard, County Wexford, Quigley had All-Ireland success at colleges level with St. Peter's College while simultaneously having championship successes at underage levels with the Rathnure club. A three-time Leinster medal winner with the Rathnure senior team, Quigley also won nine championship medals.

Quigley made his debut on the inter-county scene when he first linked up with the Wexford minor team. After little success in this grade, he later won an All-Ireland medal with the under-21 team. Quigley made his senior debut during the 1962–63 league. He went on to play a key role for Wexford in defence during a successful era, and won one All-Ireland medal, three Leinster medals and one National Hurling League medal. An All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions, Quigley captained the team to All-Ireland victory in 1968.

As a member of the Leinster inter-provincial team, Quigley won three Railway Cup medals. Throughout his inter-county career he made 20 championship appearances. Quigley retired from inter-county hurling following the conclusion of the 1972 championship.

Quigley's brothers – Pat, John, Jimmy and Martin – also played with distinction at all levels with Wexford.

Regarded as one of the greatest players of all-time, Quigley was named as the Texaco Hurler of the Year in 1968. He was also chosen as one of the 125 greatest hurlers of all time in a 2009 poll.

In retirement from playing Quigley became involved in team management and coaching at all levels with Rathnure.

During his schooling at St. Peter's College, Quigley established himself as a key member of the senior hurling team. In 1962 he won a Leinster medal following a 4–3 to 1–4 defeat of Kilkenny CBS. On 6 May 1962 St. Peter's faced Ennis CBS in the All-Ireland decider. A 4–11 to 2–4 victory gave Quigley an All-Ireland medal.
