Owen Markey

Owen Markey, born Eugene Markey, was an Irish Gaelic footballer who lived from 11 July 1883 to 7 November 1968. His championship career with the Louth senior football team lasted twenty years, from 1903 until 1923. With Louth he won two All-Ireland Senior Football Championship titles, in 1910 and 1912, and three Leinster Senior Football Championship titles, in 1909, 1910 and 1912. At club level he began with Ardee Volunteers, winning the Louth Senior Football Championship with them in 1903, and later won the same county title with Ardee St Mochta's in 1914. He then played with Eamonn Ceannt's, who were runners-up in the Louth Senior Football Championship in 1921. His honours therefore span several clubs in the Louth area as well as the county team.
