John Joseph Landers, born on 23 April 1907 and died on 27 August 2001, was an Irish Gaelic footballer, Gaelic games administrator and republican activist whose league and championship career at senior level for the Kerry county team spanned twelve years from 1927 to 1938. He has been described as one of Kerry's greatest football legends. Raised in Tralee, one of six children, he won five county senior championship medals in hurling and football with the combined Tralee district team, three more in hurling with Rock Street and five in football with Austin Stacks. He debuted for Kerry at twenty and won five All-Ireland medals, beginning with a record-equalling four in a row from 1929 to 1932 and a lone triumph in 1937, along with ten Munster medals and four National Football League medals.
