Gay O'Driscoll

Denis Gabriel Gay O'Driscoll, born in 1946, is an Irish former Gaelic footballer whose championship career at senior level with the Dublin county team spanned thirteen seasons from 1966 until 1979. Born in West Cork, the son of a Royal Navy serviceman, he moved with his family to Marino in Dublin at an early age and attended Scoil Mhuire and St Joseph's Secondary School in Fairview. He first played with the St Vincent's club and had much success in a career that spanned three decades, the highlight being an All-Ireland medal with the club in 1976, along with two Leinster medals and ten county senior championship medals. He first appeared on the inter-county scene as a hurler at minor and under-21 levels with Dublin, and was an All-Ireland runner-up in the under-21 grade in 1967.
