Thomas Edward "Toddy" Pierse (21 July 1898 – 11 October 1968) was an Irish Gaelic footballer. His championship career at senior level with the Wexford and Dublin county teams spanned seven seasons from 1918 until 1924.[1]
Pierse first played competitive football on the inter-county scene as a member of the Wexford senior team in 1918. He won an All-Ireland medal that year as Wexford won a record fourth successive championship. In 1921 Pierse joined the Dublin senior team and went on to win back-to-back All-Ireland medals in 1921 and 1922. He also won three Leinster medals. Pierse ended his career back with the Wexford team in 1924.
