Jimmy Kerrigan

Jimmy Kerrigan was born on 8 March 1959 in Cork, Ireland, and is a former Irish sportsman who played Gaelic football. He played club football with his local club Nemo Rangers and was a member of the Cork senior inter-county team from 1978 until 1990. The source describes him as one of the most decorated inter-county club footballers of all time, which places his career among the most successful in the club game of his era. His son, Paul Kerrigan, was a member of the Cork senior football team at the time the source was written, so football runs in the family across two generations. The article treats him as a Gaelic football player rather than a multi-sport figure, and this entry follows that scope.
