Paddy Broderick (hurler)
Paddy Broderick, born in 1949 in Johnstown, County Kilkenny, is a former Irish hurler. He played as a left wing-forward for the Fenians club and for Kilkenny’s senior team in the early 1970s.
With Fenians, he won five Kilkenny Senior Hurling Championships (1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1977) and a Leinster Club SHC title, and the club reached the All-Ireland Club final in 1975, where they lost to St Finbarr’s.
He debuted for Kilkenny’s senior team in 1971 and became a regular by 1973. He won a Leinster SHC with Kilkenny and played in the 1973 All-Ireland final, which Kilkenny lost to Limerick (1-21 to 1-14).
A notable fact about him is that he is the last player to wear glasses in an All-Ireland final.
