Alexander Cecil Pedlow (20 January 1934 – 9 November 2019) was an Irish rugby union player, particularly remembered for his tenure with the British Lions.
Pedlow's first sporting achievements started off at Campbell College playing hockey and enjoying the 'bat ball' philosophy behind the game.
Pedlow played for the university freshers in his first year but his strength, speed and footballing talent soon propelled him towards provincial and national honours and the provincial/international selectors began to take notice.
According to Pedlow, "The game was a bit dull and I found myself with the ball with a chance to drop-kick-it was my first cap but I decided to go for it-I hit it.
Pedlow reached the zenith of his career in 1955 when he was selected for the historic tour to South Africa for the Irish and British Lions.
Pedlow's favourite sport was tennis when he managed to finish off one of the most iconic tries of all time in the history of Rugby Union.
He also went on to represent Ireland again at veteran age level (over 45) and was the Irish Champion for seven successive years during which he remained unbeaten and did not lose a single match.
