Tony Reddin

Martin Charles "Tony" Reddington (born 1919 in Mullagh, County Galway), better known as Tony Reddin, is an Irish former sportsperson. He played hurling at various times with Mullagh club, in County Galway, and Lorrha-Dorrha in County Tipperary from the 1930s until the 1950s. Reddin also lined out with both the Galway and Tipperary senior inter-county teams at various intervals from 1941 until 1957. Reddin has gained iconic status in the sport and is regarded as the undisputed greatest hurling goalkeeper of all-time.

In a senior inter-county career with Tipperary that lasted from 1948 until 1957 he won three senior All-Ireland titles, three Munster titles, five National Hurling League titles and five Railway Cup titles with Munster. He was honoured in 1984 when he was named, by popular opinion, as the goalkeeper on the Hurling Team of the Century. Reddin was also named in the same position on the Hurling Team of the Millennium in 1999.
