Career

Quinn first came to Gaelic football prominence as a member of the Parnells club that won the County Championship in 1939. He claimed a second winners' medal in 1945. The first victory resulted in Quinn's inclusion on the Dublin senior football team in 1941, and he won his first Leinster Championship medal that year. He won a second successive provincial title in 1942, however, the highlight of his brief inter-county career was the 1942 All-Ireland final defeat of Galway.[1] Quinn later trained the Dublin senior team to the 1963 All-Ireland Championship title.[2]

Personal life and death
