'Theo English was an icon in South Tipp and a legend wherever hurling people gathered'

MARLFIELD MAGICIAN: Tipperary's Theo English after the 1958 Munster SHC final win over Waterford. 

Theo English, one of Tipperary's finest hurlers, passed away on Sunday morning, much to many communities' profound sadness.

The innermost circle was Marlfield, outside Clonmel in South Tipperary. Ninety last July, and President of Marlfield GAA Club, he stayed immensely proud of home ground. Four South Senior Championships were won (1960, 1962, 1964, 1970) and these medals sat among his most cherished possessions.
