John Lynch (Tyrone Gaelic footballer)

Football Codes

John Lynch, born in 1962, is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played in the Tyrone county team's first All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final appearance in 1986 and subsequently won an All Star Award. He also represented Ireland in an early rendition of the International Rules Series, and he blames his subsequent sending off for instigating an unfair reputation as a dirty player. He played club football for his local town, Castlederg, but was very close to pursuing a career in athletics until his girlfriend convinced him to stay with Gaelic football.
