Football Codes

John Purdy, born in 1948 in Tullylish, County Down, is a former Irish sportsman who played Gaelic football with his local club Lawrencetown. He was a member of the Down senior inter-county team from the 1960s until the 1970s, and during that time he won an All-Ireland medal in 1968. The source article about him is short and gives no further detail on his playing position, his club honours or his life after football, so this entry records only the facts that article states and leaves the rest for later research.
