Johnny Glynn
Johnny Glynn (c.1917 – 10 January 1959) was President of the Irish Rugby Football Union.
Glynn was a native of Williamsgate Street, Galway. He played rugby for Galwegians and Connacht, winning twelve caps, and became a well-known referee. He also served as president of his local club.
His sudden death led to the two clubs erecting a memorial trophy in his name known as the Glynn Cup, which would be played for between the clubs every Saint Patrick’s Day.
