John Forde (Gaelic footballer)

Football Codes

John Forde (1920 to 18 April 2010) was an Irish sportsperson who played Gaelic football. He played with his local clubs Ardnaree and Ballina Stephenites and was a member of the senior Mayo county team from 1949 until 1955, a spell of seven seasons in the county colours. Gaelic football is the Irish field code run by the Gaelic Athletic Association, in which fifteen a side teams carry, hand-pass and kick a round ball, and the county senior team is the highest level at which a player represents his home county. The English Wikipedia article on Forde is a short entry that gives his dates, his clubs and his years with Mayo; it lists no medals or titles, so no honours are claimed here.
