Jeremiah Noel Lucey (1939 – 19 July 2021) was an Irish Gaelic footballer. He played at club level with Glenbeigh-Glencar, Laune Rangers and Mid Kerry and at inter-county level with the Kerry senior football team.
Career
Born in Caragh Lake, County Kerry, Lucey first played Gaelic football with Glenbeigh-Glencar before transferring to the Laune Rangers club. He won a County Championship title with divisional side Mid Kerry in 1967.[1] Having never played at minor inter-county level, Lucey first was included on the Kerry senior football team during a number of tournament games in early 1962. He ended the season with an All-Ireland Championship title after lining out at centre-back in the final defeat of Roscommon. His brother, Jimmy Lucey, also lined out that day, while a third brother, Vincent Lucey, played in the 1965 All-Ireland final defeat by Galway.[2] Lucey's inter-county career ended after just two seasons, by which stage he had also secured a National League title.
Death
Lucey died in Glenflesk, County Kerry on 19 July 2021.[3]
