Vivian G. Cobbe (born 1934) is an Irish retired hurler who played at club level with St. Patrick's, at inter-county level with Limerick and at inter-provincial level with Munster.
From the St. Patrick's club, Cobbe first came to prominence on the inter-county scene with the Limerick junior team that overcame London to win the 1955 All-Ireland Junior Championship. Promotion to the senior side followed, with Cobbe lining out in the forwards when Limerick surprised Clare to win the 1955 Munster Championship. [1] The team, labelled "Mackey's Greyhounds" after their trainer Mick Mackey, were subsequently beaten by eventual champions Wexford in the All-Ireland semi-final. [2] Cobbe continued playing for Limerick until the 1960s, by which time he had also won two Railway Cup medals with Munster.
