Paddy Keenan (born 1 October 1984) is a Gaelic footballer from County Louth, Ireland. He played for the Louth senior inter-county football team and for his club St Patrick's Lordship.
Keenan is a graduate of DCU where he obtained an MSC in Business Management and played for DCU in the 2008 Sigerson Cup.[1]
In October 2010, Keenan was selected on the All Stars football team at midfield for his performances for Louth during the 2010 season.[2]
He played and scored a point in the 2010 Leinster Football Final defeat to Meath where Louth appeared to be on their way to a first title since 1957, before losing to a late goal.[3]
He helped Louth to win both Tommy Murphy Cup[4] and National League Division 2 titles in 2006.[5]
Keenan is Louth's first ever All Star winner since the scheme began in 1971, meaning only Carlow and Longford have never won an All Star in either code.[6] Keenan captained the side that won Louth the NFL Division 3 title in 2011.[7]
Paddy represented his Province, Leinster, with fellow club and county player Dessie Finnegan. In 2010 he also represented Ireland in the International Rules Series against Australia on a number of occasions.[8]
At club level he has won seven Louth Senior Football Championship titles with St. Patrick's of Lordship.[9] He captained 'The Pats' in 2007, winning a third Louth SFC title by beating local rivals Cooley Kickhams.[10]
He retired from inter-county football at the age of 29 in 2014.[11]
