Hogan began playing hurling with his local club, [[Lorrha-Dorrha GAA|Lorrha-Dorrha]], at a young age. He first tasted success with the club winning two under-14 'B' championship medals in 1976 and 1977. Hogan subsequently won a North Tipperary under-21 'B' medal in 1983. He also won two North Tipperary senior hurling championship medals, captaining his side to the title in 1989.

Hogan's talent as a hurler was quickly spotted by the Tipperary inter-county selectors and he joined the minor panel in 1980. That year he enjoyed his first major success when he captured a [[Munster Minor Hurling Championship|Munster]] title in that grade. He later lined out in the minor championship decider with [[Wexford GAA|Wexford]] providing the opposition. Tipp had a relatively comfortable 2-15 to 1-10 win, giving Hogan a coveted [[All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship|All-Ireland]] medal.<ref>{{cite book| first=Donegan| last=Des| title=The Complete Handbook of Gaelic Games| publisher=DBA Publications| year=2005| id= | pages=29}}</ref>

Hogan later joined the Tipperary under-21 panel, winning a [[Munster Under-21 Hurling Championship|Munster]] title at this level in 1983. He later lined out in the All-Ireland final against [[Galway GAA|Galway]]. A final score of 0-12 to 1-9 in Galway's favour meant that Hogan ended up on the losing side.<ref>''The Complete Handbook of Gaelic Games'' p. 42</ref> In 1984 he added a second consecutive Munster under-21 title to his collection before later lining out in a second consecutive All-Ireland final.

Hogan subsequently joined the Tipperary senior panel and made his debut in 1987. It proved to be a successful year for Tipp as the county won its first [[Munster Senior Hurling Championship|Munster]] title in 16 years following a dramatic draw and a replay with Cork in [[FitzGerald Stadium]], [[Killarney]] .<ref>{{cite book| first=Éamonn| last=Sweeney| title=Munster Hurling Legends| publisher=The O'Brien Press| year=2002| id= | pages=122–123}}</ref> In the subsequent All-Ireland semi-final [[Galway GAA|Galway]] put an end to Tipp's dream season with a 3-20 to 2-17 defeat.

1988 began well for Hogan as he added a [[National Hurling League]] medal to his collection. He later captured his second Munster medal following another victory over Cork. A subsequent defeat of [[Antrim GAA|Antrim]] allowed Tipp to advance to the 'All-Ireland final against Galway. With an extra year's experience it was expected that Tipp might shade the victory. Galway, however, used this to motivate themselves. [[Noel Lane (Galway hurler)|Noel Lane]] scored the crucial goal for Galway while [[Nicky English]] sent a late penalty over the bar for a point. A 1-15 to 0-14 score line resulted in victory for Galway.<ref>{{cite book| first=Eoghan| last=Corry| title=The GAA Book of Lists| publisher=Hodder Headline Ireland| year=2005| id= | pages=362}}</ref>

In 1989 Tipperary were still the best team in Munster and Hogan won his third provincial title in-a-row after a 0-26 to 2-8 trouncing of [[Waterford GAA|Waterford]]. For the third time in as many years Tipp faced Galway in the All-Ireland series, but on this occasion the men from the West were without their star player [[Tony Keady]]. The game turned out to be a tense and unsavoury affair as Tipp finally triumphed over Galway. Antrim, the surprise winners of the other semi-final, provided the opposition in the subsequent All-Ireland final. It was an historic occasion as it was only the second appearance of an [[Ulster]] team in the championship decider. Antrim's relative inexperience robbed the final of any real element of contest and Tipp romped home to a 4-24 to 3-9 win.<ref>''The GAA Book of Lists'' p. 363</ref> Tipp thus preserved their record of being the only team to win an All-Ireland title in every decade in GAA history. It was Hogan's first senior [[All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship|All-Ireland]] medal.

Tipp returned in 1991 and defeated Cork in a thrilling Munster final replay giving Hogan his fourth provincial medal. The subsequent All-Ireland final saw Tipp take on Kilkenny for the first time in twenty years. A freak goal by [[Michael Cleary (hurler)|Michael Cleary]] in the first-half gave Tipp a lead which they never surrendered. A 1-16 to 0-15 victory allowed Hogan to capture his second All-Ireland medal in three years.<ref>''The GAA Book of Lists'' p. 363</ref>

1992 saw Tipp exit the championship at an early stage, however, the team bounced back for one last hurrah in 1993.

He later lined out in the minor championship decider with Wexford providing the opposition. Tipp had a 2–15 to 1–10 win, giving Hogan an All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship medal.[2]

Hogan later joined the Tipperary under-21 panel, winning a Munster title at this level in 1983. He later lined out in the All-Ireland final against Galway. A final score of 0–12 to 1–9 in Galway's favour meant that Hogan ended up on the losing side.[3] In 1984 he added a second consecutive Munster under-21 title to his collection before later lining out in a second consecutive All-Ireland final. Kilkenny were the opponents on that occasion, but Tipp were defeated again by 1–12 to 0–11.[4] It was Hogan's last year with the county under-21 team.

Senior

[edit]

Hogan subsequently joined the Tipperary senior panel and made his debut in 1987. Tipperary won its first Munster title in 16 years following a draw and a replay with Cork in FitzGerald Stadium, Killarney .[5] In the subsequent All-Ireland semi-final Galway defeated Tipperary 3–20 to 2–17.

In 1988 Hogan added a National Hurling League medal to his collection. He later captured his second Munster medal following another victory over Cork. A subsequent defeat of Antrim allowed Tipp to advance to the All-Ireland final against Galway. Noel Lane scored a goal for Galway while Nicky English sent a late penalty over the bar for a point. A 1–15 to 0–14 score line resulted in victory for Galway.[6]

In 1989, Hogan won his third provincial title in-a-row after a 0–26 to 2–8 win over Waterford. For the third time in as many years Tipp faced Galway in the All-Ireland series, but on this occasion the men from the West were without Tony Keady. In the game Tipp finally triumphed over Galway. Antrim, the surprise winners of the other semi-final, provided the opposition in the subsequent All-Ireland final. It was only the second appearance of an Ulster team in the championship decider. Tipperary however won convincingly with a 4–24 to 3–9 win.[7] Tipp thus preserved their record of being the only team to win an All-Ireland title in every decade in GAA history. It was Hogan's first senior All-Ireland medal.

In 1990 Tipperary surrendered their Munster crown to Cork for the first time in four years. This defeat followed Babs Keating's infamous remark about Cork that "donkeys don't win derbies".[8]

Tipp returned in 1991 and defeated Cork in a Munster final replay giving Hogan his fourth provincial medal. The subsequent All-Ireland final saw Tipp take on Kilkenny for the first time in twenty years. A goal by Michael Cleary in the first-half gave Tipp a lead which they never surrendered. A 1–16 to 0–15 victory allowed Hogan to capture his second All-Ireland medal in three years.[9]

1992 saw Tipp exit the championship at an early stage, however, the team bounced back for one last hurrah in 1993. That year Hogan added a fifth Munster medal to his collection as Tipp beat Clare by 3–27 to 2–12. The subsequent All-Ireland semi-final saw Tipp renew their rivalry with Galway; however, on this occasion Galway won. This defeat brought the curtain down on Tipp's great revival while also being an end to Hogan's inter-county career.[10]

Hogan maintained an interest in hurling following his retirement as a player. He served as a selector under Fr Tom Fogarty in the mid-1990s when Fogarty was Tipperary manager. He later held the same position under Nicky English in the early 2000s. Hogan succeeded Michael Doyle as manager of the Tipperary senior hurling team in 2003. He served as manager for two seasons but, apart from a Munster final appearance in 2005, had little success and left in 2005.

On 11 September 2010, Tipperary Under-21 hurlers, managed by Hogan, won the All Ireland Under-21 title by defeating Galway by 5–22 to 0–12 at Semple Stadium.[11] Hogan managed the Under-21 team from 2009 until stepping down in 2013.[12]
