Kevin Nolan (Gaelic footballer)

Kevin Nolan is a Gaelic footballer from Dublin who played club football for Kilmacud Crokes and county football for Dublin. Born on 19 September 1988 and raised in Monkstown, he played association football with St Joseph's Boys in Sallynoggin before choosing Gaelic football, after the English clubs Leicester City and Blackburn Rovers had invited him for trials. He won a Sigerson Cup with DCU, the 2008 Dublin Senior Football Championship, and then a Leinster and an All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship with Kilmacud Crokes. With Dublin he made his championship debut in the 2008 Leinster final, won six Leinster titles in all, and was named man of the match in the 2011 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final, which gave Dublin their first title in sixteen years. Injury and a medical condition limited his later development, his inter-county career ended in 2015, and he later moved to County Monaghan and played for Cremartin.
