Paddy Ryan (hurler)

Paddy Ryan, known as Sweeper, was an Irish hurler who lived from 1 April 1912 until his death on 31 December 1991 and played as a left corner-forward for the Tipperary senior team. He made his first appearance for Tipperary during the 1934 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1945 championship. He is identified here as the Tipperary forward of the 1930s and 1940s to tell him apart from other people of the same name.
