April 06, 2021
Leitrim legend Packy McGarty (RIP).
Packy McGarty was hailed as one of the greatest footballers of all time as the passing of the legendary Leitrim footballer drew widespread sadness across the GAA community.
The proud Mohill clubman, who died this morning at the age of 87, is widely regarded as the best player ever to wear the Leitrim jersey.
Making his Leitrim senior debut at the tender age of 16, Packy went on to win Railway Cup medals on two different occasions and played in six Connacht SFC finals, including four-in-a-row against Galway, during an inter-county career which spanned from 1949 to 1971.
