Garrett Howard

Garrett Howard, who lived from 10 December 1899 to 20 January 1995, was an Irish hurler from Patrickswell, County Limerick, who played as a left wing-back for the Limerick, Dublin and Tipperary senior teams. He joined the Limerick senior team at twenty-one, made his senior debut in the 1921 championship and later lined out with Dublin and Tipperary before returning to Limerick. In a fifteen-year inter-county career he won five All-Ireland medals, five Munster medals, three Leinster medals and four National Hurling League medals, and was an All-Ireland runner-up twice. He won two Railway Cup medals with Munster and Leinster, eight club championship medals with clubs including Croom, Garda and Toomevara, and two Tailteann Games medals with Ireland, and he also represented his country in shinty. He retired after the 1936 championship and then moved into team management and coaching, guiding Clare to an Oireachtas Cup.
