About Eudie Coughlan
- Eugene "Eudie" Coughlan (26 August 1900 – 4 January 1987) was an Irish hurler.
- His league and championship career with the Cork senior team spanned thirteen seasons from 1919 until 1931. Born in Cork, Coughlan was raised in a strong hurling family.
- His father as well as several of his paternal and maternal uncles all won All-Ireland medals with Cork in the early years of the championship. Coughlan first played competitive hurling with the Blackrock club, making his senior debut in 1918.
- In a hugely successful club career, he lined out in twelve county finals, winning seven county senior championship medals. After impressing on the club scene, Coughlan came to prominence at inter-county level at the age of nineteen when he was added to the Cork senior panel in 1919.
- Over the course of the next thirteen seasons he won five All-Ireland medals, beginning with a lone triumph as a non-playing substitute in his debut season, three championship titles in four seasons between 1926 and 1929 and a fifth and final winners' medal as captain of the team in 1931.
- Coughlan also won seven Munster medals and two National Hurling League medals.
- He played his last game for Cork in November 1931.
- Coughlan was joined on the Cork team by his brother, John. After being chosen on the Munster inter-provincial team for the first time in 1928, Coughlan was an automatic choice on the starting fifteen for a number of years until 1932.
- During that time he won three Railway Cup medals. Even during his playing days Coughlan came to be recognised as one of the greatest players of all time.
- In 1985 he was the recipient of the GAA's All-Time All-Star Award, while he was posthumously named in the right wing-forward position on the Cork Hurling Team of the Century in 2000.
