Niall Finnegan

Football Codes

Niall Finnegan is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who was born in 1971. He played at senior level for the Galway county team, and his league and championship career with Galway ran for ten seasons, from 1991 until 2001. He belonged to the Galway side that won the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship in 1998, the county's most prized national title in the code, and he also collected Connacht Senior Football Championship medals in 1995, 1998 and 2000. His record is typical of an intercounty player of the 1990s who spent a decade in one county jersey, with a provincial title at either end of his career and one national championship at its centre. The Wikipedia article on him is short and lists his honours and career span rather than a detailed biography, so this entry records only what that page supports.
