Paddy Barry (Sarsfield's)
Patrick "Paddy" Barry (1928 – 18 December 2000) was an Irish sportsperson. He played hurling with his local club Sarsfield's and with the Cork senior inter-county team from 1947 until 1964. Barry is regarded as one of Cork’s greatest-ever hurlers.
Barry’s status as one of Cork's all-time greats is self-evident. In a senior inter-county career that lasted across three decades he won three All-Ireland titles, four Munster titles, three National Hurling League titles and four Railway Cup titles with Munster. Barry was later honoured in 2000 when he was named, by popular opinion, in the right corner-forward position on the Cork Hurling Team of the Century.

“But whether on the scaffold high,
Or in the battle’s van,
The fittest place where man can die
Is where he dies for man.”
