Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Irish English Шаблон:Infobox GAA player Robert Beggs (25 February 1911 – 7 May 1993) was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played for club sides Skerries Harps and Wolfe Tones and at inter-county level with the Dublin and Galway senior football teams.[1]
Career
Beggs first came to prominence as a Gaelic footballer on the Dublin senior team that lost the 1934 All-Ireland final to Galway.[2] A short time after this defeat, he took up employment in Galway and transferred his football allegiance. Beggs's seven seasons with the Galway senior team yielded a National League title, three Connacht Championship medals and All-Ireland success after a defeat of Kerry in the 1938 final. He also enjoyed club success with the Wolfe Tones club[3] and won two County Championship titles. After returning to Dublin, Beggs once again lined out with his native county and claimed a second All-Ireland winners' medal in 1942 at the expense of his former team.[4][5] He also secured Railway Cup medals with both Leinster and Connacht.
Personal life and death
Born in Skerries, County Dublin, Beggs spent his entire adult life working as a fisherman in his hometown and later in Claddagh, County Galway after moving for work before returning to Skerries.[6] His Galway-born son, Brian Beggs, won an All-Ireland Minor Championship title with Dublin in 1958. Beggs died in Beaumont Hospital on 7 May 1993 after suffering a stroke.
