“It was with deep sadness that we learned this morning of the passing of former Marlfield and Tipperary great Theo English,” the Tipp county board confirmed on Sunday.
“Tipperary GAA extends our sincere sympathies to Theo’s wife Maureen and his family at this very sad time.
“May he Rest In Peace.”
English also won eight National Hurling Leagues and seven Munster hurling championships during his decorated playing career, as well as four South Tipperary senior club championships with Marlfield.
As a selector, he was part of Tipp’s All-Ireland winning backroom teams in 1971 and again under Babs Keating in 1989.
Our condolences to the family and friends of 5-time All Ireland winner Theo English. Our sympathies too to his club and all at @TipperaryGAA. https://t.co/DUUgt08e7m
