The Leeside Legends series: Colin Corkery was a giant for club and county

“That is what Billy is all about getting players to believe in themselves and remember he also did it with the Cork Senior football team that speaks volumes of the man.”

Thankfully Colin’s attitude saw him through as his kicking skills graced many pitches in Ireland and he will be remembered as a special talent in his beloved city.

Colin Corkery is the holder of four Cork senior football championships with Nemo Rangers, as well as two All-Ireland club titles, having played with the club for 25 years.
Corkery was on the Coláiste Chríost Rí team that defeated St Brendan’s Killarney in the Corn Uí Mhuirí final of 1989.
He scored 11 points against Kerry in the Munster Senior Football Championship clash of 2002.
