Timothy "Thady" O'Connor (1867 - 24 April 1951) was an Irish hurler who played for the Cork senior team.[1]
Born in Aghabullogue, County Cork, O'Connor first played competitive hurling in his youth. He came to prominence with the Aghabullogue club, winning one championship medal in 1890. Aghabullogue subsequently represented Cork in the inter-county series of games, with O'Connor winning a set of All-Ireland and Munster medals.[2]
O'Connor worked initially as a coachman before finding employment as a farm labourer. At the time of his death he was the last surviving member of Cork's 1890 All-Ireland-winning team.
