They called him 'The Prince'.
Oulart-the-Ballagh's Mick Jacob wasn't the biggest man in the world, so how did he become hurling's 'Prince of Centre-Backs' through the 1970s and into the 80s? Was it be- cause he was a genius on the ball, or a fiercesome warrior when chasing down an opponent in possession?
Both tell the truth. The Wexford leg- end won it all in purple and gold - an All-Ireland, four Leinster titles, one National League and three All Star awards.
For his own famed club and his be- loved county, Jacob was irrepressible from the mid-60s until he finally re- tired from the county stage in 1984.
This is the story of Mick Jacob, and his people and his place. It's the story of a father lost too young, a young mother left to forge a future for her family, and a son who en- sured that his family would become known and admired throughout the land
