Paddy Cullen
Patrick Cullen (born 18 October 1944) is an Irish former Gaelic football manager and former player. His league and championship career at senior level with the Dublin county team spanned thirteen years from 1966 to 1979. Born in Stoneybatter but raised in the North Wall area of Dublin, Cullen was introduced to Gaelic football by the Christian Brothers at St Laurence O'Toole National School and later at the North Strand Vocational College. He joined the O'Connell Boys club straight after finishing his schooling and enjoyed a club career that spanned four decades from 1959 until 1982. Cullen combined both Gaelic football and soccer in his youth and developed a reputation as a fine soccer goalkeeper when he played in the local street leagues.

St Joseph's/OCB GAA
St Joseph's/OCB (Irish: ''Naomh Seosamh, BUC'') are an amateur athletic club located in the North Inner city of Dublin, Ireland. They are the last remaining Gaelic Athletic Association club in the area. The club is an amalgamation of two clubs: St Joseph's of East Wall and O’Connell Boys of North Wall. St Joseph's were founded in 1918 and rose to prominence, especially in the 1920s and 1930s, albeit with intermittent objections; St Joseph's also produced a continuing stream of inter-county players. O’Connell Boys were established in 1964, as a club for the former members of the O’Connell Boys Youth Club in Seville Place, Dublin. However, changes to the inner city in the latter half of the 20th century – population decline, unemployment, and school closings – caused a corresponding decline in membership for both clubs. At the end of 1989, the two clubs merged into St Joseph's/OCB and have played as such since the 1990 season. The club currently field teams in Gaelic ...

GAA All Stars Awards
The Gaelic Athletic Association-Gaelic Players' Association All Stars Awards (often known simply as the All Stars) are awarded annually to the best player in each of the 15 playing positions in Gaelic football and hurling. Additionally, one player in each code is selected as Player of the Year. The awards were instituted in 1971. Since 2011 they have been presented jointly by the Gaelic Athletic Association and the representative body for inter-county players, the Gaelic Players Association. Each player who receives a nomination is given a medallion marking the milestone. It is considered "the most coveted sporting award scheme in the country". Equivalent awards exist for ladies' football, rounders and camogie. History and procedure Since the 1960s there had been a tradition of annually selecting the best player in each position, in football and hurling, to create a special team of the year. Between 1963 and 1967 these players received what was known as the Cú Chulainn award. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
