Kevin Moran (footballer) - Gaelic Football

Gaelic Football

Moran was an inter-county Gaelic football player for Dublin in Ireland. A former Dublin U-21 player Moran was called up to the senior panel for the first time in 1976. He won two All-Ireland Championship medals with Dublin in 1976 and 1977. He helped Dublin to defeat Kerry — who had beaten Dublin in the 1975 final — in the 1976 final (by 3-8 to 0-10) and again in the 1977 semi-final thanks to new tactics by manager Kevin Heffernan that hindered Kerry's tactic to pull defenders forward and take full advantage of the space behind the half back line. The 1977 final saw a 5-12 to 3-6 victory over Armagh in Croke Park. Moran was awarded an All-Star for his performance in the 1976 championship.

Moran was also part of the 1976/77 side that won the National Football League for Dublin with a win over Derry in the final. He played his club football for Dublin based GAA club Good Counsel.
