Patrick "Paddy" O'Driscoll (born 1927) was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played as a right corner-back for the Cork senior team. He is regarded as one of the greatest players of all-time.[1][2]
O'Driscoll joined the team during the 1950 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement a decade later. During that time he won two National League medals and two Munster medals, however, he failed to capture an All-Ireland winners' medal.[3]
O'Driscoll enjoyed a lengthy career with the Russell Rovers and Garda club teams.
In retirement from playing O'Driscoll served as an administrator with the Cork County Board and was also a selector when Cork won the All-Ireland in 1973.
