Kevin McManamon (born 9 December 1986) is a Gaelic footballer from Dublin who plays for the St Jude's club and was a senior member of the Dublin county team since 2010. He retired in December 2021. [2]
McManamon made his senior debut in O'Byrne Cup against Wexford. [3] In 2010 during the league he was selected as one of the top young players as well being part of the Under 21 Dublin team that won the All-Ireland Under 21 Football Championship. [4]
In the 2011 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, McManamon played a significant role in the semi-final and final. In the semi-final against Donegal, he came as a substitute with 20 minutes left in the match and scored a vital point. [5]
In the final, he also came on with 20 minutes to go and scored a goal to reduce the margin between the teams at the time from 4 points to a single point. Dublin went on to win the match by a single point and the Irish Independent named him as their man of the match. [6] [7]
As his career begun to wind down, Kevin developed a strong interest in Sports Psychology and has worked with such organisations as the winning Templeogue Basketball team and the Irish Amateur Boxing Team.[ citation needed ]
