Was just wondering if anyone can tell me any father and son combos that have won all ireland medals (even playing for seperate counties?)

Cheers!

A few spring to mind just off the top of my head. The Larkins from Kilkenny-(Fan & Philly) , Ollie & Michael Walsh (Kilkenny) , Des Ferguson (Dublin) & his son Terry (Meath) and the last one I can remember is Noel Curran (Meath) & his son Paul (Dublin).I'm sure there are more though.

Maybe some of the more senior Dubs posters could help me on this , did Pat Gilroy's father ever win an all Ireland with the Dubs? I know he played for Dublin but don't know if he had a Celtic cross from his time on the team.

Mick Donnellan, Galway, winner 1926 - his son, John, Galway, winner 1964 (as captain), 1965 (sent off!) and 1966. His son, Michael, Galway, winner 1998 and 2001!

Incidentally Michael senior died at Croke Park in 1964 from a heart attack during his son's first victory.

Jack Gilroy, Pat's father won All Ireland medals in '58 and '63 with the Dubs but as far as I know he didn't play in either Final.

mickey burn (the rattler) tipperary who won in the forties and fifties and his son Paul who won in 1971, they i think were the first father and son both who won all ireland senior medals.

The Larkins from Kilkenny, 3 generations, the first two before the Rattler and son. I imagine there are quite a few of these, and a lot more in the near future if you look at Kerry's up and coming youngsters.

Amazingly Antrim have a father and son who both lost in Hurling finals. Considering that in 121 years of competition Ulster counties have only been in two finals, it is some coincidence.

Both the Larkins and the Donellans have three generations of All-Irelands. Off the point but a little teaser for ye. Who is the only soccer player in history to come on as a sub for his father in a full soccer international. He is very well known and still playing.
