Career

Flynn first came to prominence when he joined the Dublin senior team in 1957. He took over from Paddy O'Flaherty as first-choice goalkeeper following his retirement in September 1959. Flynn won back-to-back Leinster Championship medals in 1962 and 1963, however, the highlight of his inter-county career was the 1963 All-Ireland final defeat of Galway.[1][2] Flynn ended his career with a third provincial winners' medal in 1965.
