Originally from Ballydonoghue Johnny joined up with neighbouring Ballyduff who are more well known for hurling rather than football.
He played at full forward in the Munster Final having a notable battle with Humphrey Kelliher of Cork and also in the All Ireland semi-final against Sligo.
On the same day in 1975 his brother Robert captained the Kerry Minors to All Ireland victory over Tyrone.
