Paudie O'Mahony (born 1952) is an Irish former Gaelic footballer. His league and championship career at senior level for the Kerry county team spanned nine seasons from 1973 to 1982.[1]

Playing career

O'Mahony made his debut on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he was selected for the Kerry minor team in 1970. He spent one championship season with the minor team; however, he was an All-Ireland MFC runner-up. O'Mahony subsequently joined the Kerry under-21 team, winning an All-Ireland medal in 1973. Later that year he joined the Kerry senior team, making his debut during the 1973–74 league. Over the course of the next nine seasons, O'Mahony won five All-Ireland SFC medals, beginning with a lone triumph on the field of play in 1975, followed by a record-equalling four championships in-a-row as a non-playing substitute from 1978 to 1981. He also won eight Munster SFC medals and one National Football League medal. He retired from inter-county football following Kerry's failure to secure a fifth successive All-Ireland SFC title in 1982.
