Michael McCormack (1943 - 13 January 2002) was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played as a full-back at senior level for the Tipperary county team.[1] [2]
Born in Kilross, County Tipperary, McCormack first played competitive football and hurling during his schooling at Abbey CBS. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Tipperary minor teams as a dual player, before later joining the under-21 football and intermediate and senior hurling teams. He made his senior football debut during the 1965 championship. McCormack went on to play a key role over the next few years, and won one National League (Division 2) medal.
At club level McCormack was a two-time football championship medallist with University College Cork as well as claiming a hurling championship medal with the college. He later won a second hurling championship with St Finbarr's. McCormack began his club career with Aherlow.
His son, Fergal, was an All-Ireland medallist with the Cork hurlers while his brother-in-law, Mick O'Connell, played for Kerry and is regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all-time.
McCormack's retirement came following the conclusion of the 1971 championship.
