Denis Bernard (Gaelic footballer)

Denis Bernard, who lived from 29 November 1932 to 31 October 2019, was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played club football for Dohenys and, at inter-county level, for the Cork senior football team and for Munster, usually at full-back or centre-back. He was drafted onto the Cork minor team at sixteen, was centre-back on the All-Ireland-winning Cork junior team of 1951, and won National League and Munster Championship medals in his debut senior season. He won consecutive Sigerson Cup titles with University College Cork, a second National League medal and consecutive Munster titles across the 1956 and 1957 seasons, but Cork lost back-to-back All-Ireland finals to Galway and Louth. He later emigrated to the United States, settled in Yonkers, New York, and died in 2019.
