Frank Conlan

Francis Conlan, known as Frank Conlan, was an Irish Gaelic footballer born on 4 July 1883 who died on 28 February 1953. He played as a left corner-forward for the Kildare senior team and is regarded as one of the greatest players the county has produced. He first appeared for Kildare during the 1903 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until he retired after the 1921 championship, a senior career spanning almost two decades. In that time he won two All-Ireland medals and three Leinster medals, and he was an All-Ireland runner-up on one further occasion. At club level he played with Roseberry and won nine county club championship medals with them.
