Brendan Lynch (Roscommon Gaelic footballer)

Brendan Lynch, born in Oran, County Roscommon, on 14 February 1923 and died on 30 March 2014, was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played as a right wing-back for the Roscommon senior team. He was introduced to Gaelic football during his schooling at Roscommon CBS, and at club level he enjoyed a distinguished career with Oran. He made his debut on the inter-county scene when he first linked up with the Roscommon minor team and was an All-Ireland medallist in that grade, later making his senior football debut. He went on to play a key role for Roscommon during a hugely successful era, winning two All-Ireland medals and six Connacht medals, and he was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
