Din Connors

Din Connors, born Denis O'Connor on 7 January 1917 and died on 29 February 2004, was an Irish Gaelic footballer from the Cork football tradition. He first came to prominence with the club Dromtarriffe, which brought a call-up to the Cork minor team for the 1935 Munster Minor Championship and then to the Cork junior team, with which he won a Munster Junior Championship as a substitute in 1940. He joined the Cork senior team the following year as an unused substitute, took Munster senior titles in 1943 and 1945, and ended the 1945 season at left wing-back when Cork beat Cavan in the All-Ireland final. After his last game for Cork in 1948 he emigrated to the United States, played for the New York senior team and won a National League title with it in 1950. He also played club football for Millstreet and died in Braintree, Massachusetts.
