Con Geaney

Cornelius Geaney (16 August 1907 – 9 September 1988) was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played at club level with John Mitchels and Castleisland Desmonds and at inter-county level with the Kerry senior football team.

Geaney first came to Gaelic football prominence as a member of the John Mitchels club that won the County Championship title in 1929.

He was drafted onto the Kerry senior football team two years later, however, an injury ruled him out of the 1931 All-Ireland final win over Kildare.

Geaney's other honours with Kerry include six Munster Championship titles and two National Football League medals.

[1] Born in Firies, County Kerry, Geaney qualified as a national school teacher and spent his adult life working in Castleisland.
