- Alan Lotty (15 July 1920 – 10 February 1973) was an Irish hurler who played for Cork Championship club Sarsfields. He played for the Cork senior hurling team for 10 years, during which time he usually lined out as a corner-back or as a wing-back. Lotty began his hurling career at club level with Sarsfields. He broke onto the club's top adult team as a 16-year-old in 1937, however, his club career coincided with a barren spell for the club. Lotty played his last game for the club in 1950. At inter-county level, Lotty was part of the successful Cork minor team that won the All-Ireland Championship in 1938. He joined the Cork senior team in 1939. From his debut, Lotty was ever-present as a corner-back or wing-back and made 30 Championship appearances in a career that ended with his last game in 1949. During that time he was part of five All-Ireland Championship-winning teams – in 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944 and 1946. Lotty also secured five Munster Championship medals and three National Hurling League medals. At inter-provincial level, Lotty was selected to play in two championship campaigns with Munster. He ended his career without a Railway Cup medal after finishing as runner-up in 1941 and 1947. (en)
