Michael Hogan Memorial Statue in Tipperary
26 November 2020; A statue, dedicated to Michael Hogan, the only player killed in the Bloody Sunday events of 1920 in Croke Park is seen in Grangemockler, Tipperary. On Sunday 21 November 1920, an attack by Crown Forces on the attendees at a challenge Gaelic Football match between Dublin and Tipperary during the Irish War of Independence resulted in 14 people being murdered. Along with the 13 supporters that lost their lives that day a Tipperary footballer, Michael Hogan, also died. The main stand in Croke Park, the Hogan Stand, was subsequently named after him.
