Bill Merriman

William Merriman, known as Bill Merriman, was an Irish Gaelic footballer who lived from 10 November 1878 to 23 November 1963. He played for the Kildare senior team, and his career in the championship brought him one All-Ireland Senior Football Championship medal. That competition is the premier inter-county knockout tournament of Gaelic football, organised each year by the Gaelic Athletic Association, so a single winners medal marks him as a member of a team that took the sport's national title. The English Wikipedia article on him is a short stub that gives his dates, his county and the single medal, and it states nothing further about his playing position, his club or the year of the victory.
