Lee Keegan (born 25 October 1989 in Westport) is a Gaelic footballer for the Mayo senior team and also plays club football for Westport GAA.[1] He has started at right half back in two All-Ireland football finals: the 2012 decider, which Mayo lost by 0-13 to 2-11 against Donegal and the 2013 decider, which Mayo lost by 1-14 to 2-12 against Dublin.[2][3][4] He was named in the 2012 All Star football team in the right half back position. During the 2013 All-Ireland final he was memorably manhandled on the field by Diarmuid Connolly, who attempted to wrench his shirt off but was unsuccessful.[5] Lee played twice for Ireland against Australia in the 2013 International Rules Series.[6][7]
