Pat Glendon

Pat Glendon, born Patrick Glendon and living from 10 March 1895 to 22 June 1967, was an Irish hurler who usually lined out at corner-back and was a member of the Kilkenny team that won the 1922 All-Ireland Championship. He had a lengthy career with Clomanto but little success at club level. Selected for the Kilkenny senior team in 1922, he was a regular at various times over the following five championship seasons, winning his first Leinster medal in his debut season and his sole All-Ireland medal after Kilkenny's defeat of Tipperary in the final, and a second Leinster medal in 1926. Before his hurling career he was an active member of the Old IRA during the War of Independence, and he was married to Johanna, nee Moriarty; he died suddenly at home on 22 June 1967.
