Kieran McKeever ((アイルランド語:Ciarán Mac Íomhair); born 12 March 1968) is a former Irish dual player who played Gaelic football and hurling with Derry in the late 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s. He is chiefly known as a footballer and was part of Derry's 1993 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship winning side, also won Ulster Senior Football Championships in 1993 and 1998. With Derry footballers he usually played at corner-back and is regarded as one of best defenders and tightest markers to have played the game. In 2000 McKeever became the first Ulster player to be nominated for All Stars in both football and hurling in the same season. He won the football All Star, but narrowly missed out on the hurling accolade. Had he have won the double All Star, he would have become only the second player ever after Cork legend Ray Cummins to win both awards in the same year.〔 He has won Irish News Ulster All-Star awards and was named right-corner back on the Irish News Team of the Decade in 2004.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Team of the Decade )〕 The public voted him onto the All-Time Derry Football Team via an online poll in 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= All-Time Derry Senior Football Team )〕 McKeever played club football with St. Canice's GAC Dungiven and club hurling with Kevin Lynchs. ==Personal life== Kieran McKeever was born into a footballing household. His father Thomas was a Derry minor panelist in the mid 1960s and his brothers Emmet and Cathal have both represented Derry and New York at hurling and football. In 2008 Cathal transferred to Tyrone side Carrickmore.〔 〕 His abilities as a dual player were nurtured at St. Patrick’s Secondary School by former Derry footballers Seán O'Connell, Fintan McCloskey and Francie Brolly and Kilkenny born hurling coach Liam Hinphey.〔 He also excelled at athletics at school, particularly the high jump. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kieran McKeever」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
