[citation needed] After playing no part in the successful provincial campaign in 1956, Codd was later named at centre-forward as Wexford advanced to an All-Ireland final meeting with Cork.
The game turned on one important incident as the Wexford goalkeeper, Art Foley, made a miraculous save from a Ring shot and cleared the sliotar up the field to set up another attack.
[citation needed] Two year later in 1958 Codd added a National Hurling League medal to his collection following a 5-7 to 4-8 defeat of Limerick.
[citation needed] When his playing days ended Codd turned to music and toured with the popular Herdsmen showband.
Codd also had a large musical following at Fleadh Cheoil competitions throughout the country, resulting in the making of several CDs in the late nineties.
During his professional playing career, one of Codd's and the band's biggest hits 'Whisper Your Mother's Name' was in the Irish charts for some time, while in later years he recorded 'Cuchulainn's Son'.'
