Farewell to Tony Reddin - a true sporting legend

I was delighted to see Pádraig Harrington pick up a title during the week, as the golfer still comfortably tops my list of interviewees index-linked according to accomplishment and manners, writes Michael Moynihan.

The only downside was that it diverted the spotlight away from the departure of a sporting legend during the week: Tony Reddin.

The name in itself evokes all the signifiers of the Munster championship. Hot afternoons in Thurles, a crowd massing over the railway bridge, and the hard goalmouth in Semple Stadium: Reddin’s canvas.
