John O'Driscoll (Gaelic footballer)

John O'Driscoll, born on 1 August 1967, is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played at club level with Béal Átha'n Ghaorthaidh, at divisional level with Muskerry and at inter-county level with the Cork senior team. He learned the game as a boarder at Coláiste Íosagáin in Ballyvourney and won Mid Cork Junior A titles with his club in 1992, 1994 and 2005. He played minor for Cork in 1984 and 1985 and won an All-Ireland under-21 medal in 1986. His senior career was troubled by injury but coincided with a golden age for Cork: he was part of the team that won back-to-back All-Ireland Senior Football Championships in 1989 and 1990 and won seven Munster medals, a joint record for a Cork player, and the 1988-89 National Football League. At 19 he played for Ireland in the 1986 International Rules Series win over Australia.
