Denso was the Dr Crokes Goalie during the 1920's and
played on a number of occasions with Kerry. He was the
kingdoms custodian during the historic game against the
Ex- internees which historians tell us helped in a very
big way to mend differences between rival factions
during those troubled times in Kerry.
Denso won his Tailtean games medal as Goalie for Munster
when they defeated Leinster in the games Final in 1924.
His whole life was immersed in the Dr Croke club & the
Gaa and as a Nurse in St Finians Hospital, (under RMS Dr
Eamonn O'Sullivan) he supervised all the work done by
the hospital patients during the Dick Fitzgerald stadium
project in the 1930's which the Doctor said was of great
therapeutic value to them. The Minister of local
Government in a letter to the Hospital committee said he
was pleased to learn that the work has had a beneficial
effect on the health of the patients and that a number
of cures had resulted therefrom.
Denso had the honour of being the Dr Croke club Patron
for many years before his death , a position he held
with dignity and of which he was very proud of. A man
remembered by the club as a true Dr Croke Legend.
