O'Gorman is considered one of the heroes of the Wexford hurling team that won the All-Ireland title in 1996. It was the first win for the county since 1968. Throughout his career O'Gorman, who generally played in the half-back line, won 1 All-Ireland title and 2 Leinster Championship titles (1996 and 1997).
