Daniel McAuliffe (1933 – 9 March 1999) was an Irish Gaelic footballer. He played at club level with Duagh, Feale Rangers and Shannon Rangers and at inter-county level with the Kerry senior football team.

Career

Born in Duagh, County Kerry, McAuliffe first came to prominence as a member of the local club.[1] He made his first appearances at inter-county level as a member of the Kerry minor team that won the Munster Minor Championship title in 1951. A spell with the Kerry junior team yielded an All-Ireland Junior Championship medal in 1954, before McAuliffe was drafted onto the Kerry senior team the following year. He won his first All-Ireland Championship title as a non-playing substitute in his debut season, before claiming two further winners' medals on the field of play in 1959 and 1962.[2] [3] McAuliffe also won six Munster Championship titles and was involved in two National League title-winning teams. Following the conclusion of his inter-county career, he enjoyed success at club level by winning a County Championship title as captain of Shannon Rangers in 1964.

Personal life and death

McAuliffe spent his working life as a publican and owner of a scaffolding business in his native Duagh. He died aged 65 at the Bon Secours Hospital in Tralee on 9 March 1999, after battling illness for the previous seven years.
