John "Jackie" Carney (1906 - November 1984) was an Irish Gaelic footballer and trainer. His league and championship career with the Mayo senior team spanned ten years from 1931 to 1941.[1]
Carney made his debut on the inter-county scene when he was selected for the Mayo senior team during the 1930-31 league. After being dropped from the team the following year he was recalled in 1933 after winning an All-Ireland medal with the Mayo junior team. Over the course of the next eight seasons, Carney won one All-Ireland medals as left wing-forward on the team in 1936. He also won five Connacht medals and seven National Football League medals. He played his last game for Mayo in June 1941.
As a regular member of the Connacht inter-provincial team, Carney won a total of four Railway Cup medals.
Carney was appointed co-trainer of the Mayo senior team along with Gerald Courell in 1948. His tenure in charge saw the team win back-to-back All-Ireland titles in 1950 and 1951.
Carney's nephew, Martin Carney, had a lengthy inter-county career with Donegal and Mayo.
