Tony O'Sullivan is one of the most popular and richest Gaelic Football Player who was born on January 7, 1963 in Ireland. Anthony “Tony” O’Sullivan (born 7 January 1963) is an Irish retired hurler and Gaelic footballer who played as a right wing-forward for the Cork senior hurling team.

O’Sullivan’s performances with the Cork minor footballers saw him added to the starting fifteen of the under-21 side for the All-Ireland final replay with Galway on 8 November 1981. That game failed to live up to the excitement of the replay, however, a 2–9 to 1–6 victory gave O’Sullivan an All-Ireland medal in the under-21 grade.

As a dual under-21 player in 1982, O’Sullivan enjoyed mixed fortunes. With the hurlers he won his first Munster medal following a 1–14 to 1–4 provincial decider defeat of Limerick. On 12 September 1982 Cork faced Galway in the All- Ireland decider. Cork came from behind in the closing stages to win by a single point scored from long range by Kevin Hennessy. The 0–12 to 0–11 victory gave O’Sullivan an All-Ireland medal. He had earlier won a Munster medal with the under-21 footballers following a 2–12 to 0–4 trouncing of old rivals Kerry.

Born in Farranree, Cork, O’Sullivan first played competitive Gaelic games during his schooling at the North Monastery. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Cork minor teams as a dual player before later joining the under-21 sides. He made his senior hurling debut during the 1982 championship. O’Sullivan immediately became a regular member of the starting fifteen and won three All-Ireland medals, seven Munster medals and one National Hurling League medal. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on three occasions.

During his schooling at the North Monastery, O’Sullivan established himself as a key member of the senior hurling team. In 1980 he won a Harty Cup medal following a 2–10 to 2–5 replay defeat of St. Colman’s College. On 27 April 1980 the North Mon faced St. Brendan’s Community School in the All-Ireland decider. A 5–11 to 3–7 victory gave O’Sullivan an All-Ireland medal.

On 5 September 1982 Cork faced Kilkenny in the All- Ireland decider. “The Cats”, who many viewed as the underdogs, surprised all on the day, with Christy Heffernan scoring two goals in a forty-second spell just before the interval to take the wind out of Cork’s sails. Ger Fennelly got a third goal within eight minutes of the restart, giving Kilkenny a 3–18 to 1–15 victory. In spite of this defeat O’Sullivan ended his debut year by claiming a first All-Star.

Cork made it five-in-a-row in Munster in 1986 as they defeated Clare by 2–18 to 3–12 to take the provincial title. It was O’Sullivan’s fifth successive Munster medal. This victory paved the way for an All-Ireland final meeting with Galway on 7 September 1986. The men from the west were the red-hot favourites against a Cork team in decline, however, on the day a different story unfolded. Four Cork goals, one from John Fenton, two from Tomás Mulcahy and one from Kevin Hennessy, stymied the Galway attack and helped the Rebels to a 4–13 to 2–15 victory. It was O’Sullivan’s second All-Ireland medal while a second All-Star quickly followed.
