Tony Hanahoe

Anthony Hanahoe, born in Clontarf on 29 April 1945, is an Irish former Gaelic footballer, hurler and Gaelic football manager whose league and championship career at senior level with the Dublin county team spanned sixteen seasons from 1964 to 1979. He excelled at both Gaelic football and hurling in his youth and was educated at St Joseph's Secondary School in Fairview, where he first developed his skills in both codes. He joined the St Vincent's club and, after progressing through the juvenile and underage grades, was a regular in the starting fifteen by 1964, winning the first of eleven county senior championship medals that year. The highlight of his club career came in 1976, when he won an All-Ireland medal, and he also won three Leinster club medals before retiring after a two-decade-long career.
