Patrick Fox (born 8 July 1961) is an Irish former hurling manager and player. At club level he played with Éire Óg Annacarty and at inter-county level was a member of the Tipperary senior hurling team.[1]

Club career

Fox began his career at juvenile and underage levels as a dual player with the Éire Óg Annacarty club before eventually progressing to adult level. He had his first senior success in 1981 when he won a West Tipperary SHC medal after a 0–14 to 0–7 win over Cappawhite in the final.[2] Fox added a second West Tipperary SHC medal to his collection five years later in 1986. He top-scored with 1-01 in the 2-09 to 1-10 defeat of Golden–Kilfeacle.[3] Fox's club career was drawing to a close when he won a Tipperary IHC title after a 0–9 to 1–5 win over Silvermines in 1994.[4]

Inter-county career

Fox began his inter-county career with Tipperary during a two-year tenure as a dual player at minor level in 1978 and 1979. He was in his final season as a minor when he was drafted onto the Tipperary under-21 team and ended the year with an All-Ireland U21HC medal after a 2–12 to 1–9 win over Galway in the final.[5] It was the first of three successive winners' medals for Fox, as he was also involved when Kilkenny had All-Ireland final defeats in 1980 and 1981.[6]

Fox joined the senior team in 1980 and made his debut in a Munster SHC semi-final defeat by Cork.[7] He suffered a cruciate ligament injury in 1982, an injury which resulted in him being off the Tipperary team for the following two seasons.[8] He played with Tipperary's junior team in 1984, before returning to the senior team a year later.

Fox won his first Munster SHC medal after a 4–22 to 1–22 extra-time defeat of Cork in 1987.[9] He was the championship's overall top scorer that year with 3–45, while he also won his first All-Star award. Fox added a National Hurling League medal and a second consecutive Munster SHC medal to his collection the following year.[10] He later lined out at wing-forward in the 1–15 to 0–14 defeat by Galway in the 1988 All-Ireland SHC final.[11] Fox claimed a third successive Munster SHC medal in 1989. He later won his first All-Ireland SHC medal after scoring 1–2 from corner-forward in the 4–24 to 3–9 defeat of Antrim in the 1989 All-Ireland SHC final.[12] Fox ended the season with a second All-Star award.

After surrendering their titles in 1990, Fox won a fourth Munster SHC medal in five seasons after a 4–19 to 4–15 defeat of Cork. He later claimed a second All-Ireland SHC medal after scoring five points and being named man of the match in the 1–16 to 0–15 defeat of Kilkenny in the 1991 All-Ireland SHC final.[13] He ended the season with a third All-Star award, and was also named Hurler of the Year.[14] Fox won a fifth and final Munster SHC medal in 1993. He added a second National Hurling League title to his collection in 1994, in what proved to be his last silverware with the Tipperary senior team. Fox retired from inter-county hurling following Tipperary's defeat by Limerick in the 1996 Munster SHC final replay.

Inter-provincial career

Fox's performances at inter-county level resulted in his selection for Munster in their 1982 Railway Cup semi-final defeat by Connacht.[15] It was the first of five appearances for the Munster team; however, all of them ended with semi-final defeats.

Managerial career

Fox was in the twilight of his club career when he became involved in team management. He was player-manager with the Éire Óg Annacarty intermediate team in 2004.[16]
