Nobody played in both finals. There is a common myth that Spain's Xabi Alonso did so, but this is not true. Kevin Moran won All-Ireland with Dublin and played in the 1990 World Cup Finals tournament in Italy, though Ireland did not reach the actual final. He was in the 1994 World Cup squad in the USA, but due to injury he did not play in any matches.
