Playing career

The Adrigole GFC clubman was one of key players that won the Cork Junior Football Championship in 2002, but died in November 2002 before the final from a cardiac condition while swimming.[1][2] He played for his divisional side Beara GAA that won the Cork Under-21 Football Championship in 1997 and has also represented Cork GAA at underage level. John Lack played for the Ireland national Australian rules football team[3] that won the 2002 Australian Football International Cup and kicked a goal in the final against Papua New Guinea. The Australian Rules Football League of Ireland Premiership Trophy is named in his honour.[4][4][5]

gollark: I mean, one of the "wisdom of the ages"es of Western societies is to question past traditions and old ideas.
gollark: People complaining about it doesn't mean it's true either, I doubt they actually *measured* it.
gollark: They may also not have been very good ideas in the time when they "evolved", and just stuck around through luck or being tied to better ones.
gollark: Also, things being a good idea in very different societies of the past doesn't make them sensible in the different environments of today. They *might* be, but it isn't guaranteed.
gollark: Working memory isn't long-term memory.
