Love him or loathe him Paudie O'Shea is still one of
Kerry's most interesting stars.
Dr. Eamon O'Sullivan
is known as one of Gaelic Football's greatest trainers
and inspirational figures. Terrace Talk's Weeshie Fogarty
is currently writing a biography on this great G.A.A
man.
Most people who have
heard of Sam Maguire did so because they have heard
of the Sam Maguire cup. But who was the man? Why has
the GAA a cup named after him? This profile explains
it all.
The dissipation of
so many dreams that inevitably followed Kerry’s
All Ireland defeat of 1982, hit nobody harder than John
O' keeffe. On the threshold of his eight Celtic Cross
award, victory over Offaly would have set him apart
in football’s Hall of Fame.
One of the finest Gaelic
footballers to wear the green and gold of Kerry - Bob
Stack - is not as well remembered by the present generation
of Gaelic Games followers as men who had less colourful
careers on the sports field.
The founding of Killarney
Legion Football Club in 1929 was an historic and most
important event. That very same year, a son was born
to Kathleen and Fred Murphy and he in turn would go
on and become one of the greatest footballers the fledgling
young club would ever produce.
On the field of play no
one could ever doubt the personal courage, lethalness
and indispensability of Jim Cronin, the Kerry-born player
who won many honours with his adopted Cork.
Geraldine O’Shea
is a quietly spoken Kerry woman, she has been playing
Gaelic football since she was 12 and has played soccer
for Ireland some
40 times. It would be fair to say that she has packed
in more during her 26 years than most of us would do
in a lifetime. Read about her Sporting achievemets.
Maurice Dowling is the archetypal Kerry football fan,
one who exudes passion for the game and gives it an
imperative role in his existence.
In this article by Journalist Trevor O'Sullivan Maurice
