John Quaid (1932 – 22 February 2021) was an Irish hurler who played at club level with Feohanagh-Castlemahon, at inter-county level with Limerick and at inter-provincial level with Munster.
The Quaid surname has been synonymous with Limerick hurling for nearly 70 years.[1] A cousin, Séamus Quaid, was a contemporary of the Quaid twins and lined out with Limerick before winning the 1960 All-Ireland Championship with Wexford. Jack Quaid's son, Tommy, was also a Munster Championship-winner as goalkeeper with the Limerick team between 1976 and 1993. His nephew, Joe Quaid, immediately took over as goalkeeper and also won Munster Championship medals in a decade-long career. Jack Quaid's grandson, Nickie Quaid, has continued the family goalkeeping tradition with Limerick and has won two All-Ireland Championships.[2]
