The medal collection of the late Tony Reddin, who was named as goalkeeper on the Hurling Team of the Millennium, has been presented by his family to the GAA Museum in Croke Park.
A native of Galway, Tony began his career in Galway with Mullagh and played inter-county hurling with the Tribesmen in 1941 and also played for Connacht in the Railway Cup inter-provincial championship.
He later moved to Tipperary and joined the Lorrha-Dorrha club.
He excelled as a goalkeeper with the Premier County and his performances between the posts saw him hailed as one pf the best hurling custodians.
He won three All-Ireland senior medals (1949, 1950 and 1951) as well as three Munster titles and six National Leagues (1949, 1950, 1952, 1954, 1955 and 1957).
He was also named the GAA’s Hurling Goalkeeper of the century in 1984.
