David Beggy

David Beggy, known as Jinksy, is an All-Ireland winning Gaelic footballer from County Meath who played with his club Navan O'Mahonys. He won two All-Ireland Senior Football Championships, in 1987 and 1988, and received two All Stars while playing for the Meath county team, as well as playing rugby with Leinster. Coming from a rugby playing background with no underage pedigree in the GAA, he burst onto the scene in the summer of 1986 and went on to become a huge favourite with the Meath supporters. He has also taken part in charity events, including racing a greyhound at Shelbourne Park for charity, which he says he won because the dog had four legs and he only has two.
