Jack Kenna

Jack Kenna (born in 1932 in Kilmullen) was a gaelic football player from County Laois in Ireland.

He played for many years on the Laois GAA senior football team in the forwards and was widely regarded as one of the outstanding players in Ireland of the 1950's. He also played for his province Leinster, winning three Railway Cup medals in 1955, 1959 and 1961.

Kenna began his football career with the Jamestown club. From 1951 onwards, he played for the O'Dempseys club and retired in 1962, the year before the club won its first Laois Senior Football Championship title.
