Steva Riordan

Steva Riordan, born Stephen John Riordan and living from 24 December 1876 to 23 August 1942, was an Irish hurler who played for the Cork Championship club Blackrock and for the Cork senior hurling team for six years, usually lining out as a half-forward. He broke onto Blackrock's top adult team in 1898, the year he won his first Cork Championship title, and won six further championship titles with the club. He joined the Cork senior team in 1902 and from his debut was ever-present as a half-forward, making 21 championship appearances in a career that ended with his last game in 1908. He was part of two All-Ireland Championship winning teams, in 1902 and, as captain, 1903, and was involved in four of Cork's Munster Championship winning teams.
