Nealie Duggan

Cornelius "Nealie" Duggan (1923 to 1996) was an Irish Gaelic footballer from Urhan in County Cork who played for the clubs Urhan, St. Patrick's and Lees, for the Beara divisional side, for the Cork senior football team and for Munster. He came to prominence with the Urhan junior team, won Beara junior titles in 1943 and 1944 and was on the Cork senior team by then. He won Munster Senior Football Championship medals in 1943, 1949, 1952, 1956 and 1957, and National League titles in 1952 and 1956. A suspension for allegedly playing illegally in Kerry cost him an All-Ireland medal when Cork won the 1945 title. Cork then lost consecutive All-Ireland finals to Galway and Louth, and Duggan captained the team in the second of them. He also won two Railway Cup titles with Munster and a Cork Senior Football Championship with Lees in 1955. He later settled in Bishopstown, worked with Cork County Council and died in Cork University Hospital in December 1996.
