Johnny Culloty

[1] He played both football and hurling with Kerry from the 1950s till the 1970s, winning All Ireland and National League titles in both.

Culloty first played with Kerry when he lined out in goal for the county minor hurlers when he was just 14 in a Munster Championship game with Limerick.

That same year he was part of the Kerry junior side that won both Munster and All Ireland titles.

Although more known as a goalkeeper,[citation needed] his first game was as a forward when he came on as a sub in that year's Munster final win over Cork.

This set up a repeat of the previous year's final but, once again, Down came out on top, en route to a second All Ireland in a row.

In 1962, Kerry and Culloty picked up a fourth Munster title in a row following wins over Waterford and Cork.

This set up an All Ireland semifinal with Dublin, a team Kerry hadn't played in Championship since 1959.

This set up an All Ireland semifinal with Galway, a team Kerry and Culloty had dominated in the past.

Kerry won the title, to set up a first championship meeting with first-time Leinster Champions Longford.

The All Ireland semi set up a meeting with Mayo, the result being a one-point win, on a 0-14 to 1-10 score line for Kerry.

In the end, Kerry were 0-10 to 0-07 winners, giving Culloty the honor of accepting the cup as captain, and a fourth All Ireland title.

Kerry had 13 points to spare in the semifinal against Derry, setting up an All Ireland final meeting with Meath.

In a high-scoring game, Kerry were 2-19 to 0-18 winners, giving Culloty his fifth and final All Ireland medal.

During his career he played in a number of Railway Cup campaigns with Munster but did not win any titles with them.

In his first year in charge he won both National League and Munster titles, while again leading his side to an All Ireland final against then-champions Offaly.

Despite National League titles in 1973-74, Culloty's side failed to make the breakthrough in Munster, losing to Cork in both years.
