  • Ger Loughnane is a retired Irish hurling manager and former player. He played hurling with his local club Feakle and with the Clare senior inter-county team in the 1970s and 1980s. Loughnane has often been described as a controversial character in the world of hurling. As a player Loughnane was involved with the Clare team of the 1970s, a team often described as one that under-achieved somewhat. In his senior inter-county career that lasted from 1972 until 1987 he won two National Hurling League titles and three Railway Cup titles with Munster. Clare came close to winning a Munster title in both 1977 and 1978, however, they were defeated by Cork on both occasions. Loughnane was also the first Clare person to be presented with an All-Star award. As a manager Loughnane has had remarkable success. As manager of the Clare senior inter-county team in the 1990s he guided his native-county to two All-Ireland titles and three Munster titles. Loughnane's achievements with Clare are all the more remarkable considering the fact that between 1933 and 1994 the county failed to win a provincial title. Loughnane later served as manager of the Galway senior inter-county from 2006 until 2008, however, in spite of promising an All-Ireland within two years his tenure at the helm was not a successful one.
