John Quane

Who is John Quane?

John Quane was a Gaelic footballer from County Limerick, Ireland. He played with the Limerick team from 1991 to 2005. He played at midfield and was one of the top players in the county for most of the 90's and into the 00's.

In his first year at senior level he helped Limerick to a first Munster Senior Football Championship final since 1965 in a high scoring game with Kerry Limerick came out the wrong end of a 0-23 to 3-12 scoreline. After a number of unsuccessful years in Munster Limerick made it to the 2003 and 2004 Munster Senior Football Championship finals but lost out again to Kerry in both.

When the Qualifiers were brought into the Championship it offered teams like Limerick a second chance in the championship which Limerick used well in 2002 by making it to Round 3 with wins over Cavan and Offaly in Rounds 1 & 2 before eventually going down to Mayo. At the end of that year he received an All Star nomination.

In 2004 Limerick made it to Div 1 of the National League for the first time in their history making it to the semi-final before going down once again to Munster rivals Kerry.

He was an automatic choice on the Munster Railway Cup football team.
