Members of Tipperary County Council have paid tribute to the former Tipperary hurling legend Theo English who passed away, aged 90, at the weekend.

He was also a keen coach and was central to Tipperary's hurling revival in 1987 alongside Michael 'Babs' Keating and Donie Nealon, having been brought on board by the the Chairman of the County Tipperary GAA Board, Michael Lowry - father of current Councillor Micheal Lowry.
Cllr Pat English, whose father was a first cousin of the late Theo, described him as being a legend of the game and a thorough gentleman. Sympathy was also expressed to Cllr English who lost his mother during Christmas week.
