John Lynch is a former Tyrone Gaelic footballer, and All Star winner, who played in Tyrone's first ever All-Ireland Final in 1986.
He also represented Ireland in an early rendition of the International Rules Series, but got sent off in that match. He blames that sending off for instigating an unfair reputation as being a dirty player.[1]
He played club football for his local town, Castlederg, but was very close to pursuing a career in athletics, until his girlfriend convinced him to pursue Gaelic football.[2]
