Colm O'Neill (Midleton Gaelic footballer)

Colm O'Neill, born on 20 June 1964, is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played at club level with Midleton and was a member of the Cork senior football team, usually lining out as a forward. At club level he was a dual player, and it was as a hurler that he enjoyed his greatest club success, winning an All-Ireland Club Championship title with Midleton in 1988. His inter-county career began with the Cork minor football team in 1981, when he won an All-Ireland Minor Championship title after scoring three goals in the final against Derry, and a three-year spell with the under-21 team brought two consecutive All-Ireland Under-21 Championship titles. Drafted onto the Cork senior football team in 1984, he won consecutive All-Ireland Championship titles in 1989 and 1990, although he was sent off for striking Mick Lyons in the 1990 final defeat of Meath. His other Cork honours include four consecutive Munster Championship titles and a National League title. He later settled in the United States and lives in Colorado.
