Gerald Michael Noonan (August 4, 1898 – 1971) was a Fordham All-American[1] who played professional football.
His brother George was selected for the Olympic Hockey Team and played in the NFL for Hammond, Indiana.
Gerard became Lt. Gerald M. Noonan in 1917 when he enlisted with the Royal Flying Corps in Canada, because he was not of age to be recruited for the American Air division.
Gerard's father, Thomas F. Noonan Jr., was elected reading clerk of the Assembly in 1883, he was appointed Judge of the Bayonne District Court in 1890 and completed his law studies in the office of Job H. Lippincott.
Gerard had four sisters: Mary (Red Cross), Elisabeth (Actress/Real Estate), and film stars Molly O'Day (Hollywood Walk of Fame) and Sally O'Neil, who were well known in their era.
