A glittering career in green and gold

Over the course of his glittering Kerry inter-county senior career, which lasted from 1973 to 1984, John Egan made 40 championship appearances for Kerry.

In 25 of these games he lined out at right corner-forward, while being picked in the left corner 14 times and once — in the 1976 All-Ireland final against Dublin — at full-forward.

In his last season, in 1984, he didn’t line out in the Munster semi-final against Tipperary, but came on as a sub in the final against Cork.
