In 1987, however, he won his first senior Munster title following a classic Munster final replay against Cork. His side were subsequently defeated by Galway in the All-Ireland semi-final.

His last appearance in a Tipp senior jersey was as a substitute in the 1996 Munster Hurling Final replay.[2]
Famous quote
[edit]Fox became well known to the public at large due to radio sports commentator Micheál Ó Muircheartaigh's famous delivery during a particularly exciting hurling encounter:
- "Pat Fox has it on his hurl and is motoring well now ... but here comes Joe Rabbitte hot on his tail ...... I've seen it all now, a Rabbitte chasing a Fox around Croke Park!"
