John Synnott

John Francis Synnott, born on 10 October 1895, was an Irish Gaelic footballer whose championship career at senior level with the Dublin county team spanned ten seasons from 1919 until 1928. He first played competitive football during a golden age for the O'Tooles club, winning nine county senior championship medals with the club in the ten years from 1918 until 1928. That success brought him into the Dublin senior team, and he made his debut in the 1919 championship. Over the next decade he won three successive All-Ireland medals between 1921 and 1923, although his first was as a non-playing substitute, and he also won five Leinster medals. His brothers Joe and Peter Synnott also played with Dublin.
