Callan, Patrick 'Blondie'


The late Patrick Callan - known as 'Patsy' or 'Blondie' - was a stalwart of the Glyde Rangers club. Widely known through his barber's business in Ardee - Blondie's Barbers - Patsy lined out with distinction at midfield for Glyde Rangers and was also on the Louth county squad in the 1950s. Patsy was a trustee of his local club and was one of the driving forces behind the purchase of their playing field. He won junior honours with the club in the 1940s and was still around for Glyde's championship successes of 1962 and '69. After hanging up his boots, he served the club as a dedicated committee member for decades.
