Martin Flanagan (Gaelic footballer)

Martin Flanagan is an Irish former Gaelic footballer from Tyrrellspass, County Westmeath, who played for the Westmeath county team from 1995 to 2010. He is considered one of the finest talents the county has produced, but he retired without a Leinster medal after falling out of favour with manager Páidí Ó Sé during the successful 2004 campaign. Equally at home at midfield or full forward, he made his championship debut against Wexford in 1995 and won National Football League Division 2 medals in 2001, 2003 and 2008. With Tyrrellspass he won Westmeath Senior Football Championship medals in 1999, 2006 and 2007 and played in the 2007 Leinster Senior Club Football Championship final, which the club lost to St Vincent's of Dublin.
