John Francis O'Driscoll (born Cork, Ireland, September 20 1921; died Swansea, Wales, March 11 1988), commonly referred to as Jackie O'Driscoll, is a former Irish footballer who played as a winger for several teams in the League of Ireland. He also played for Swansea Town. O'Driscoll was a dual international and played for both Ireland teams - the FAI XI and the IFA XI.

Irish international

When O'Driscoll began his international career in 1948 there were, in effect, two Ireland teams, chosen by two rival associations. Both associations, the Northern Ireland - based IFA and the Republic of Ireland - based FAI claimed jurisdiction over the whole of Ireland and selected players from the whole island. As a result several notable Irish players from this era, including O'Driscoll, played for both teams.

IFA XI

Between 1948 and 1949 O'Driscoll made 3 appearances for the IFA XI . On October 9 1948 he made his international debut for the IFA XI in a 6-2 defeat against England. On November 17 1948 he made his second appearance for the IFA XI in a 3-2 defeat against Scotland. He made his last appearance for the IFA XI against Wales on March 9 1949 in a 2-0 defeat.

FAI XI

Between 1948 and 1949 O'Driscoll also made 3 appearances for the FAI XI. He won his first cap on December 5 1948 in a 1-0 defeat in a friendly Switzerland at Dalymount Park. He also played for the FAI XI on April 24 1949 in another friendly at Dalymount against Belgium. This time the FAI XI lost 2-0. He won his final FAI XI cap on June 2 1949 a in 3-1 away defeat against Sweden, a qualifier for the 1950 FIFA World Cup.
