Barry Owens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Barry Owens is an Irish Gaelic footballer with the Teemore club and the Fermanagh county team.

[edit] Playing Career

Owens has been described as "among the best full-backs in Ireland".[1] He was an important part of Fermanagh's runs to the 2003 All-Ireland quarter-final and 2004 All-Ireland semi-final.[1] He is a double All-Star winner, having been honoured in 2004[2] and 2006.[3] Only two other Fermanagh footballers have received an All-Star award.[4]

In January 2008, it was announced that Owens would undergo heart surgery, but he was expected to return to football within a few months.[5]
