"Austin Flynn" (born 1933) is an Irish people/Irish retired hurling/hurler who played as a full-back for the Waterford GAA/Waterford senior team.

Flynn is regarded as one of Waterford's greatest players of all-time. He made his first appearance for the team during the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship 1952/1952 championship and eventually became a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship 1967/1967 championship. During that time he won one All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship/All-Ireland winners' medal, three Munster Senior Hurling Championship/Munster winners' medals and one National Hurling League/National League winners' medal. He ended up as an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.

Flynn has a number of personal achievements including three GAA All Stars Awards/CĂș Chulainn awards. He was recognised as his county's greatest full-back when he was picked in that position on the Waterford Hurling Team of the Millennium.

At club level Flynn played both hurling and Gaelic football with the Abbeyside GAA/Abbeyside but finished his career without claiming a county club championship medal.

He hit me square in the head. I remember everything about the game until that point. The next thing I could remember, I was holding hands up in the locker room saying the prayer.

I'll tell you what, it's a little more physical out there at receiver than I thought, but I'm still enjoying it. As a quarterback you just go back there and maybe hand the ball off, then do your little bootleg thing while the play's going on.

I think he's going to be out there no matter what. Maybe not 100 percent, but he'll be out there competing.

It was the first time I've ever thrown meat to a tiger. It was pretty cool. These are the little perks you get when you go to a bowl game.

It's unbelievable. I can't see anything bigger and more eye-opening than Reliant.

After your fourth or fifth close loss, you still can't find the words. It rips your heart out.

You never know. I guess we'll find out during the game.

Everyone should know who he is. This guy is something special.

It's very exciting. I think I have exceeded at least my expectations.
