Philip O'Sullivan (10 May 1895 – August 1952) was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played for a number of clubs in Kerry and Dublin and at inter-county level with the Kerry senior football team. He usually lined out as a defender.
As a Gaelic footballer, hurler and athlete, O'Sullivan played his football with Lauragh and hurling with Kenmare. While a student in Dublin, he played with Faughs and University College Dublin and later when he took up a teaching post in Ballymacelligott he played with the local team.[1] O'Sullivan first appeared on the inter-county scene as a member of the Kerry junior football team that won the All-Ireland Junior Championship title in 1915. He was subsequently promoted to the senior team and, after being on the losing side to Dublin in the 1923 All-Ireland final, captained the team to the All-Ireland Senior Championship title the following year.[2] O'Sullivan claimed a second winners' medal in 1926 and also won four Munster Championship titles during his brief senior career.[3]
