Packy McGarty

He played in four Connacht Senior Football Championship finals with Leitrim, from 1957 to 1960.

In 1958 they were narrowly beaten by a Galway team backboned by the players who would win three consecutive All-Ireland Senior Football Championship titles between 1963 and 1966.

In this match, he had his jersey torn to shreds by the Galway backs, and many spectators said his performance was one of the all-time great Gaelic football forward displays.

He was the only Leitrim Player chosen on the Connacht GAA team of the millennium.

He lived in Clondalkin in Dublin, where he owned a grocery shop for many years.
