Football Codes

John A. Jack Quinn, born in 1943, is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played at club level with Kilbride and at inter-county level with the Meath senior football team, usually lining out as a full-back. He was a member of the Kilbride team that rose from junior to senior in the space of five seasons, after winning the Meath junior and intermediate titles in 1960 and 1962, and he won his first Meath Senior Football Championship in 1964, a second in 1967 and a three-in-a-row between 1969 and 1971. After representing the Meath minors he won an All-Ireland Junior Championship title in 1962 and was picked for the senior team in 1963, when he played at full-back in the All-Ireland final defeat by Galway. He played alongside his brothers Gerry and Martin when Meath beat Cork in the 1967 All-Ireland final, won a fourth and final Leinster Championship in 1970 and then captained Meath to a defeat by Kerry in that year's All-Ireland final.
