Best Answer

Gaelic Football is one of Ireland's national sports. There are too many famous people to mention that have been involved with the sport. One of the most successful players in the 1940s, Jack Lynch, became the head of the Irish government in 1960s and 1970s. Some of his success at getting into politics would have been because he was such a well known player. He is the best example, but there are many other people that have gone on to be famous in Ireland through first having involvement in Gaelic Football.

A question like that cannot really be answered as there are many opinions. Experts will differ on who it would be as will ordinary fans. People tend to think mainly of players they have seen play, but the GAA goes back to 1884 and Gaelic Football existed before that, so it would be impossible to know for sure who was the best of all time.

There is no definitive answer to that. Different people will have different opinions, so you could get a long list of potential candidates. It is an amateur sport and new players are continually coming through, so opinions change.

Gaelic Football is the national sport of Ireland, so has many great players that could be said to stand, far too many to list here. Players like Bernard Brogan, Colm Cooper, Aidan O'Shea, Michael Murphy, Seán Cavanagh and many, many others.

Within Ireland, many Gaelic Footballers would be well known names, far too many to list here. Outside of Ireland, they would not be so well known beyond amongst Irish people. Notable Gaelic Footballers who came to fame in other ways include the Manchester United and Irish international soccer player Kevin Moran, who played for Dublin in the 1970s. Jack Lynch of Cork played for his county in the 1940s, and in 1966 became Taoiseach, which is the head of the Irish government.
