Longford GAA are in mourning following the sudden death of former Clonguish and County football star Seamus Flynn.
Seamus will never be forgotten in the history of Longford GAA after playing on the team that won the National Football League in 1966 and the historic Leinster Senior Football Championship success in 1968.
Residing in Lanesboro with his family, classy defender Flynn was also honoured with his selection at right-corner-back on the Longford Team of the Millennium and won seven senior football championship medals with Clonguish.
RIP Seamus Flynn. A Longford legend who left a large legacy in Clonguish and Rathcline.
His accolades include:
1965 O’Byrne Cup
1965 Gaelic Weekly Cup
1965/66 National League
1965/66 NFL Division 2
1968 Leinster SFC
7 SFC’s with Clonguish (Captain ‘68 & ‘72)
1 JFC with Rathcline (1984)
Seamus was the only Longford man to captain Leinster in the Railway Cup (1968) and was inducted into the Longford GAA ‘Hall of Fame’ in 2018. Rest in peace.
