Peter Solan (born Peter Michael Anthony Solan; 1929 in Rinnaseer, Islandeady) was a Gaelic football corner forward who played for Mayo and was instrumental in Mayo's All-Ireland triumph against Louth in 1950, scoring the first goal in a match that Mayo won by 2 points. From (Islandeady.ie ):
The Mayo team that day were: Billie Durkan (Swinford), John Forde (Ardnaree), Paddy Prendergast (Ballintubber), Sean Flanagan (capt., Ballyhaunis), Peter Quinn (Ardnaree), Henry Dixon (Mayo Abbey), John McAndrew (Bangor-Erris), Pádraic Carney (Swinford), Eamon Mongey (0-2) (Castlebar), Mick Flanagan (1-0) (Castlebar), Billie Kenny (Claremorris), Joe Gilvarry (0-1) (Killala), Mick Mulderrig (0-2) (Ballina), Tom Langan (Ballycastle), Peter Solan (1-0) (Islandeady). Subs: Sean Wynne (Ballina) on for Durkan; Mick Caulfield (Aughamore) on for Kenny; Sean Mulderrig (Ballina) on for Caulfield. Solan was again involved in the 1951 All-Ireland-winning campaign, helping Mayo all the way to the final. He had high expectations of himself, but although he felt lacking in form for the Connacht final that year against Galway, he still scored 3-1, going on then to score against Kerry in the semi-final. He was named as a sub for the final but did not appear in the team photo. Mayo have played, and lost, seven All-Ireland Finals since. == Other activities == Peter Solan was proud of his Irish heritage, an accomplished traditional dancer and musician on several instruments as well as being fluent in the Irish language. He took his pride and his heritage with him wherever he went, performing in Irish music events in Dublin, Nigeria and South Africa, where he got married to his wife Maureen in April 1959, and wherever his job as a civil engineer took him. Peter and Maureen had 5 children who grew up in Ireland and South Africa. Peter died in South Africa in January 1985 aged 56, after being diagnosed with cancer a few months earlier. 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「Peter Solan (Gaelic footballer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
