Gus Harrington (born 1943) is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played as a right wing-back at senior level for the Cork county team.[1]
Born in Togher, Cork, Harrington first played competitive football in his youth. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Cork minor team, before later joining the under-21 side.[2] He made his senior debut during the 1964 championship. Harrington had a brief inter-county career and won one Munster medal as a non-playing substitute.[citation needed]
At club level Harrington played with St Finbarr's.[citation needed]
Throughout his inter-county career, Harrington made just two championship appearances for Cork. His retirement came following the conclusion of the 1966 championship.[citation needed]
