description: "Henry Shefflin is an Irish hurling manager and former player who was the manager of the Galway senior hurling team from 2021 to 2024. In his playing career he was nicknamed \"King Henry\" because of his directive style, dominance, competitive spirit, and leadership on the field. He is the only player to win 'hurler of the year' three times, in 2002, 2006, and 2012. A versatile forward who started out in the corner, Shefflin made his name in more commanding positions as a centre or full-forward. He is widely regarded to be one of the greatest players in the history of the sport, with many former players, commentators and fans rating him as the number one player of all time."
