instructional one with Ring demonstrating the various skills of the game and ending with highlights of the 1960 league final. The film had its premiere at the Savoy in Cork on 16 October 1964 and ran for several weeks. G.A.A. Ballads of Rebel Cork contains 20 separate pieces on Ring, including a poem in Irish by Seán Ó Tuama. Theo Dorgan and Billy Ramsell have also written poems on Ring. The poet Tom French has written a poem, A Pieta, about his death. Ring has been the subject of several biographies, including Christy Ring by Val Dorgan (1980) and Christy Ring: Hurling's Greatest by Tim Horgan (2007). Quotes "For the Doc! For the Doc!"
