Jimmy Bergin was a star of the 1970s and ‘80s and won numerous senior football titles with the “Town”.
He was defender supreme with great strength and agility in either the centre half or full-back position.
He won three Leinster club titles and was outstanding at full-back in the famous All-Ireland club title win of 1983.
A report detailing Portlaoise’s first Laois Senior Hurling win in 1928.
After fifty seven years, Portlaoise finally regained the championship trophy with a narrow victory over Graiguecullen, 1 – 5 to 0 – 7, the first title in the grade since 1907.
Paddy Brennan is a legendary figure in the Portlaoise club.
He won minor hurling championships with the Rovers Club
and when that club merged with Portlaoise in the early 1950s,
Paddy threw in his lot with the Town. He went on to star with
his club and also in the blue and white of Laois for many
years.
