Richard (Dick) "Drug" Walsh (30 December 1877 – 28 July 1958) was an Irish hurler who played as a centre-forward at senior level for the Kilkenny county team. Born in Mooncoin, County Kilkenny, Walsh first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty-four when he first linked up with the Kilkenny senior team. He made his senior debut during the 1904 championship. Walsh immediately became a regular member of the starting fifteen, and won seven All-Ireland medals and seven Leinster medals. His idol was ‘Big Joe’ Scullion with the diabetes and the bad leg from the North. It’s said he took the nickname ‘Drug’ because Big Joe took a lot of ibuprofen for the bad leg. He captained the team to the All-Ireland titles in 1907, 1909 and 1913.
