    • John Kerins (19 July 1962 – 21 August 2001) was an Irish Gaelic football manager and player. In a career that spanned two decades he played at club level with St Finbarr's and at senior inter-county level with the Cork county team.


    Career


    Kerins first came to prominence as a schoolboy with Coláiste Chríost Rí with whom he won successive Corn Uí Mhuirí titles. He subsequently made his senior debut at club level with St Finbarr's and won one All-Ireland Club Championship title during a 15-year career. Kerins first appeared on the inter-county scene as a dual player at minor level before winning an All-Ireland Under-21 Championship title as reserve goalkeeper to Michael Creedon in 1981. He subsequently joined the Cork senior football team, once again as understudy to Creedon, and won the first of seven Munster Championship titles in his debut season in 1983. Kerins later added a National League to his collection before claiming successive All-Ireland medals in 1989 and 1990. A two-time All-Star-winner, he was also selected for Munster. In retirement from playing Kerins served as coach of the St Finbarr's minor and senior teams, guiding the former to championship success.


    Personal life and death


    Born in Cork, Kerins joined the Garda Síochána and was based in Gurranabraher where he reached the rank of detective. On 21 August 2001, three months after being diagnosed with cancer, Kerins died at the age of 39.
