Timeline
His father, Michael Donnellan, had won an All-Ireland Senior Football Championship (SFC) medal with Galway in 1925, later becoming a TD for Clann na Talmhan.
John Donnellan would go on to follow in his father's footsteps in both of these pursuits, although for a different party.
John F. Donnellan (born 27 March 1937) is an Irish former politician and sportsman.
John Donnellan was born in Dunmore, County Galway in 1937.
He was born into a family that had strong interests in both Gaelic games and Irish politics.
Donnellan's career as an inter-county footballer began in the late 1950s.
He won an All-Ireland Junior Football Championship title with the Galway junior team in 1958 and he quickly joined the senior side.
He played Gaelic football for his local club Dunmore McHales and at senior level for the Galway county team in the 1960s.
Two years later in 1960 Donnellan won his first Connacht title; however, Galway were later defeated in the All-Ireland SFC semi-final.
He enjoyed much success with the club, beginning in 1961 when he won a senior county championship for the first time.
In 1962 Donnellan won a county league medal before claiming a second county championship title in 1963.
This last win was later converted into a Connacht club football championship.
Three years later in 1963 he captured a second provincial title; however on that occasion Dublin defeated the men from the west in the All-Ireland SFC final.
In 1964 Donnellan was appointed captain of the Galway team.
That year he won a third Connacht title before leading his team out in the All-Ireland final against Kerry.
Galway were victorious on that day by five points and Donnellan captured his first All-Ireland SFC medal.
His moment of triumph was short-lived as, shortly after hoisting the Sam Maguire Cup, he learned that his father Michael had died in the Hogan Stand shortly before the start of the second-half.
Donnellan's father Michael died suddenly in September 1964, and at the resulting by-election in December John was elected to Dáil Éireann as a Fine Gael TD for the Galway East constituency.
In 1965 Donnellan added a fourth provincial medal to his collection.
In the subsequent All-Ireland final against Kerry he was sent off but Galway were still victorious, giving Donnellan a second consecutive All-Ireland medal.
The following year he won a fifth Connacht Championship title before qualifying for a fourth consecutive All-Ireland final appearance.
Galway had a six-point win over Meath, thus giving Donnellan a third consecutive All-Ireland SFC medal and establishing that Galway team as one of the greatest of all time.
In 1966 Donnellan's club completed the double of county league and county championship victories.
In 1967 he won a Railway Cup medal with Connacht before winning a sixth and final provincial medal in 1968.
Donnellan retired from inter-county football shortly after.
He completed a great run of success by capturing back-to-back county championship and Connacht club titles in 1968 and 1969.
He was successful at the next eight general elections, with changes of constituency; to Galway North-East in 1969, back to Galway East in 1977, and from 1981 to 1989 for Galway West.
He served as a Fine Gael Teachta Dála (TD) for twenty-five years and as a Minister of State from 1982 to 1987.
In December 1982, he was appointed by Garret FitzGerald as Minister of State at the Department of Posts and Telegraphs and Minister of State at the Department of Transport.
In 1983, he was reassigned as Minister of State at the Department of Health and Minister of State at the Department of Social Welfare with special responsibility for public health and social welfare information.
He served until Fine Gael left office after the 1987 general election.
In April 1988, following criticism of party leader Alan Dukes, Donnellan was expelled from the parliamentary party.
Donnellan retired from politics at the 1989 general election.
John's son, Michael, would also go on to play football for Galway, winning All-Ireland SFC medals in 1998 and 2001.
Donnellan played his club football with the Dunmore McHales club in the north of County Galway.
