Jimmy
Deenihan
Politician and Former Kerry Player
Now a T.D. in Dail Eireann, Jimmy captained his county to an All-Ireland
Victory in 1981, as Kerry won the 4-in-a-row. A superb defender,
he was a special Terrace Talk guest in August 2002 where he recounted
vividly the day he won the Sam Maguire cup. This is yet another
historic Terrace Talk.
At the age of 29, Jimmy achieved something that was done only
twice before in the realms of Gaelic football - He captained a
county team to the elusive sequence of
four All-Irelands in a row.
The dynamic Finugue man accomplished this singular honor when
he successfully led Kerry to their historic win over Offally in
the final. In this unique interview, Jimmy Deenihan describes
it "as a great feeling of fulfillment." He talks about
Kerry defeats, victories and the various injuries which, he feels,
prevented him from reaching his full potential.
Jimmy Deenihan has a wonderful list of successes to prove what
a brilliant player he was. Five Senior All-Irelands (1975-78-79-80-81),
one under-21 win (1975), three national leagues (1973-74-77),
and four Railway Cup medals with Feal Rangers (1978-80).
