Ger Lynch

Ger Lynch, born on 10 December 1958, is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played as a wing back at senior level for the Kerry county team. He made his first appearance for Kerry during the 1982 championship and became a regular over subsequent seasons until his retirement in 1989, winning three All-Ireland medals, three Munster medals, one National Football League medal and one All-Star award. Before the 1984 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final he and Tom Spillane, assigned to mark Tommy Conroy and Barney Rock, began their efforts during the national anthem, which they sang with aplomb, a tactic Spillane later described in the book Princes of Pigskin.
