Des Connolly was a footballer from County Laois and a native of Ballyfoyle in the Ballylinan parish, but he played all his club football with the Carlow border club Graiguecullen. Considered to be one of Laois's greatest ever players, he was however only a substitute when the county won the Leinster Senior Football Championship final against Kildare in 1946. Laois did not win the Leinster Senior Football Championship again until 2003, when Mick O'Dwyer led them to victory.
