Johnny Pilkington (born July 1970) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a right wing-forward for the Offaly senior hurling team.
Pilkington made his first appearance for the team during the 1988-89 National League and subsequently became a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 2001 championship. During that time he won two All-Ireland medals, four Leinster, one National Hurling League medal and one All-Star award. Pilkington was an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.
At club level Pilkington is one of only a handful of players to have won four All-Ireland medals. In addition to this he has also won six Leinster medals and eight county club championship medals with Birr.
Pilkington's brother, Declan, also played hurling with Offaly.
Famous quotes containing the word johnny:
“Did Johnny look flashy?
Yes, his white-on-white shirt and tie were luminous.
His trousers were creased like knives to the tops of his shoes
And his yellow straw hat came down to his dark glasses.”
—David Wagoner (b. 1926)
