Patrick Desmond Whitty (25 July 1908 – March 1994) was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played at club level with John Mitchels and at inter-county level with the Kerry senior football team. He played both in defence and as a forward.
Whitty first came to Gaelic football prominence as a member of the John Mitchels club that won County Championship titles in 1929 and 1937. [1] He was just 18-years-old when he was drafted onto the Kerry senior football team and was a member of the team that won the All-Ireland Championship in 1926, however, he didn't receive a winners' medal. Whitty was also a member of the Kerry team that won the title in 1930 but did not appear in the All-Ireland final win over Monaghan. He claimed back-to-back All-Ireland medals on the field of play in 1931 and 1932. [2] Whitty's other honours with Kerry include being involved in eight Munster Championship-winning teams and two National Football League medals on the field of play. [3] He also won a Railway Cup medal with Munster. [4]
Born in Tralee, County Kerry, Whitty emigrated to London in 1939. He spent most of his working life there in the pub trade. Whitty was also a mainstay of the Kerry Association in London.[ citation needed]
Whitty died in March 1994.
