Martin Charles Reddington (22 November 1919 – 1 March 2015), better known as Tony Reddin, was an Irish hurler who played as a goalkeeper for the Galway and Tipperary senior teams.[1][2][3]
Born in Mullagh, County Galway, Reddin first played competitive hurling at juvenile levels with his club. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Galway minor team before later joining the junior team. He made his senior debut during the 1941 championship. Reddin later joined the Tipperary team during the 1947–48 league and went on to play a key part for almost decade. During that time he won three All-Ireland medals, three Munster medals and five National Hurling League medals.
As a member of the Connacht and Munster inter-provincial teams on a number of occasions, Reddin won five Railway Cup medals. At club level he played with Mullagh in Galway and Lorrha in Tipperary.
Throughout his career Reddin made a combined total of 26 championship appearances. His retirement came during a tour of the United States in October 1957.
In retirement from playing Reddin became involved in team management and coaching. As trainer of the St Rynagh's team, he guided them to two Leinster titles and ten Offaly titles.
Reddin has been repeatedly voted onto teams made up of the sport's greats,[citation needed] including as goalkeeper on the Hurling Team of the Century in 1984 and the Hurling Team of the Millennium in 2000.
At the time of his death in 2015 Reddin was the oldest living senior All-Ireland medal winner, a mantle he had held since the death of Tommy Cooke in 2014.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
