Dave Magnier

David Magnier, known as Dave, was an Irish Gaelic footballer, born on 30 October 1915 and died on 10 July 1979. He played with his local club Fermoy and was a member of the Cork senior inter-county team from 1944 until 1947. He first came to prominence as a 17-year-old on the Fermoy team that won the County Intermediate Championship in 1932, which took him to the Cork minor team in 1933. After a spell with the junior team he was called up to the Cork seniors in 1943, won a Munster Championship in his first year and became a starter in 1945, when he lined out at right corner-back as Cork beat Cavan in the All-Ireland final. He also won a Railway Cup medal with Munster. Born in Fermoy, he was the son of John Magnier, who also played with Fermoy and Cork, and he worked as a carpenter with Ford's in Cork.
