Liam Reidy (1924 – 15 February 2007) was an Irish sportsperson who played hurling at his local club Éire Óg and was also a member of the Kilkenny senior inter-county team from the 1940's until the 1950's.
He was educated at the local national school and later attended the famed St. Kieran's College in Kilkenny, a virtual nursery for young hurling talent.
Here Reidy began his hurling career in earnest and collected a Leinster junior colleges' championship medal with St Kieran's.
The 1940s saw Éire Óg enjoy some great victories, with Reidy winning three county championship titles in four years.
In what has been described by many as the greatest hurling decider of all-time Mossy O'Riordan and Joe Kelly scored two goals that almost won the game for Cork.
Kilkenny, however, fought back with Terry Leahy and Jim Langton leading the charge and eventually won the game by 'the usual point' on a score line of 0-14 to 2-7.
Reidy also line dout with Leinster in the inter-provincial hurling competition, however, due to Munster's domination he never won a Railway Cup medal.
