Tommy Powell (Gaelic footballer)

Thomas Powell, known as Tommy, was an Irish Gaelic footballer born on 28 October 1894 who died on 24 June 1964. His championship career at senior level with the Tipperary county team lasted six years, from 1920 to 1926, and he was a member of the Tipperary team that played on Bloody Sunday. He made his inter-county debut at nineteen with the Tipperary junior team and, after an unsuccessful season there, moved up to the senior team, making his debut in the 1918 championship. The highlight of his career was the 1920 All-Ireland final, in which he was the stand out player, scoring 1-3 of Tipperary 1-6 in their win over Dublin, with a late goal that proved critical. He won one All-Ireland and three Munster senior football championships.
