Timothy Ryan (1923 – 26 February 1996) was an Irish hurler. At club level he played with Borris–Ileigh and was also a member of the Tipperary senior hurling team.

Career

Ryan first played hurling at club level with Borris–Ileigh. He progressed onto the club's senior team and won a Mid Tipperary SHC title in 1949, before later being a part of the club's first team to win the Tipperary SHC title.[1] After the club switched divisions, Ryan won five North Tipperary SHC titles and two more Tipperary SHC titles, including one as team captain in 1953.[2]

Ryan first played for Tipperary as a member of the minor team in 1941. He joined the senior team in 1950 and, after winning a Munster SHC medal, lined out at wing-forward when Tipperary beat Wexford in the 1951 All-Ireland final.[3] Ryan also won a National League title during his brief inter-county career.

Personal life and death

His brother, Ned Ryan and future brother-in-law, Pat Stakelum, were all part of Tipperary's three-in-a-row team from 1949 to 1951.[4] His sons, Bobby and Aidan, were part of the Tipperary team that won All-Ireland titles in 1989 and 1991, while another son, Pat Ryan, also lined out for Tipperary.[5]

Ryan died after a period of ill health on 26 February 1996, at the age of 72.[6]
