Liam Power (1934 – 5 July 1998) was an Irish Gaelic footballer. He played with club side Mitchelstown, divisional side Avondhu and was also a member of the Cork senior football team. [1]
Power first played Gaelic football as a student at Mitchelstown CBS before joining the Blackthorns club side in the late 1940s. He progressed to adult level with Mitchelstown and won seven North Cork JFC titles in a ten-year period between 1951 and 1961, including two as team captain in 1956 and 1957. [2] Power won a Cork JFC title in 1961. [3] He also lined out with the Avondhu divisional team between 1955 and 1960
Power first played for Cork as goalkeeper with the junior team that beat Warwickshire in the 1955 All-Ireland junior final. [4] This success earned an immediate call-up to the senior team and he was goalkeeping understudy to Pádraig Tyers for Cork's defeat by Galway in the 1956 All-Ireland final. [5] Power became first-choice goalkeeper the following year and, after winning a second successive Munster SFC, suffered a second successive defeat in an All-Ireland final. [6] [7] His performances for Cork also earned inclusion on the Munster team in the Railway Cup. [8]
Power died after suffering a heart attack while attending the 1998 Munster final on 5 July 1998. [9]
