Anthony Gleeson

Anthony Gleeson was a dual player from Tralee, County Kerry, who played at full back for most of his career. He was unlucky not to win any senior honours with Kerry: he missed out on the Munster Championship win in 1991, and although he played in the first round in 1996 he did not play another game and so did not receive a Munster medal. He did win a Munster Under-21 Championship in 1988. He also played underage hurling with Kerry in the late 1980s, captaining the team that won the Leinster Minor B Championship in 1987, before giving up hurling at a young age to focus on football. He played with the Kerry Vocational Schools team in the late 1980s, winning two All-Ireland Vocational Schools Championships in 1986 and 1987, and at club level he played football with John Mitchels.
