Career
[edit]Slocum first came to prominence at underage level with St Finbarr's, the club with which he eventually won the All-Ireland Club Championship title during a successful senior career.[1] He first appeared on the inter-county scene as captain of the Cork minor team that lost the 1983 All-Ireland minor final to Derry, before winning three successive All-Ireland Under-21 Championship titles. Slocum subsequently joined the Cork senior football team and won the first of four successive Munster Championship titles in his debut season in 1987. He later added a National League title to his collection before claiming successive All-Ireland medals at right wing-back in 1989 and 1990.[2] An All-Star-winner for the latter victory, Slocum also served as a coach an club and inter-county levels.[citation needed]
