Vincent Hogan
Well-known Tipperary sportswriter and recently retired journalist Vincent Hogan was awarded special recognition at the Gaelic Writers’ Association annual dinner on Friday, November 10.
In association with EirGrid, the awards saw the former Irish Independent Chief Sports Writer Vincent Hogan recognised with a Lifetime Achievement award.
The Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Hogan, is recognised as one of Ireland’s greatest ever sportswriters and, indeed, his work has carried well beyond these shores.
Having worked with the Hayters Sports Agency in London from 1977, he joined the Irish Press in 1980 before moving to the Irish Independent five years later.
He has also written several acclaimed books, including the autobiographies of GAA personalities Nicky English, Henry Shefflin, Colm Cooper, and Davy Fitzgerald. He retired as Chief Sportswriter at the Irish Independent after 38 years last June.
