Lee Keegan (born 25 October 1989) is a Gaelic footballer who plays as a defender for Westport and, formerly, for the Mayo county team. Many regard Keegan as his county's greatest ever footballer.[1][2] He is also the highest scoring defender of all-time having clocked up 6–40 in 54 championship matches.[citation needed]
Keegan is the only player to win five All Stars without winning an All-Ireland medal.[1] He also scored a goal against Dublin goalkeeper Stephen Cluxton in three consecutive championship matches.[1]
He has been an analyst on The Sunday Game and a Gaelic football analyst for RTÉ Sport since 2022.[3][4]
all-time greatest was invoked but never defined (see the help page).'What will we do when he goes? The greatest Mayo player I've ever seen', commented Mayo News reporter Ed McGreal. Meath's Bernard Flynn echoed that (Mayo's greatest player of all time amazing attitude application and a model of consistency) while on Off The Ball, Dublin's Tomás Quinn described his performance as 'absolutely sensational'. 'And for me', added Quinn, 'he's probably Mayo's best-ever player.'
