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.
Jimmy Harding was one of the clubs leading dual players.
He won football championships in 1976, 79, 81 and 82 and figured in the Leinster title win of 1977 and was part of the panel for the All-Ireland club win of 1983.
At an extraordinary general meeting of the club in July 2005 it was decided to allow a sub-committee explore all the development options open to them including a possible sale of their grounds at Fr. Browne Avenue and the development of a bigger site in the town.
