Patrick "Pat" Nolan (born 1937) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a goalkeeper for the Wexford senior team.[1]
Born in Oylegate, County Wexford, Nolan first excelled at hurling in his youth. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Wexford minor team. He joined the senior team as sub-goalkeeper for the 1956 championship. Nolan went on to play a key part for Wexford during a successful era for the county, and won two All-Ireland medals, five Leinster medals and three National Hurling League medals. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on three occasions.
As a member of the Leinster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions, Nolan won one Railway Cup medal. At club level he won one championship medal with Oylegate-Glenbrien.
Throughout his career Nolan made 36 championship appearances. His retirement came following Wexford's defeat by Kilkenny in the 1974 championship.
Nolan is widely regarded as Wexford's greatest-ever goalkeeper.[2]
