Eddie Gleeson

Eddie Gleeson, formally Edward Gleeson, was an Irish hurler, born in 1920, whose date of death is unknown, who played as a left corner-forward for the Tipperary senior team. He made his first appearance for Tipperary during the 1945 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen for just two full seasons, and during that time he won one All-Ireland medal and one Munster medal. At club level he played with Thurles. He is identified here as the Tipperary hurler of the 1940s to tell him apart from other people of the same name.
