Chapman, Mick

The late Mick Chapman
The Club and town lost a link with the past with the passing of Mick Chapman, Main Street. Mick was a noted footballer in his younger days on the famous Jimmy Dolan trained Minor teams of 1948 and 1949.
They lost the 1948 final to Tullamore but made the breakthrough in 1949, when they beat Clara in the County final.
Mick Chapman played on the half forward line that day when the late Pat Joe Flynn captained Ferbane to their first ever Minor title.
A good supporter of Ferbane and Offaly all his life his passing will be mourned by all who knew him especially his many friends on Main Street, Ferbane
