Liam Harnan

Liam Harnan is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played for the Meath county team and played his club football for Moynalvey. He had much success in inter-county football in the 1980s and early 1990s on the Meath teams managed by Sean Boylan, playing at centre back. During his playing career he won two senior All-Ireland medals, in 1987 and 1988, as well as five Leinster medals, two National League medals and a Centenary Cup medal, a competition played to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the GAA. He was forced to sit on the substitutes' bench for most of the 1990 season because of a back injury. Meath supporters regarded him as a strong player and a good distributor of the ball, very underestimated outside Meath, and he failed to win an All Star despite being a very important part of a team that most consider Meath's greatest ever.
