What is recorded here
Jimmy Kelly is a birthplace in Ballybofey, County Donegal, Ireland. Perhaps a boy ran barefoot through wet grass there before kicking a leather ball across muddy fields. Maybe the whole county watched him play, his laughter carrying further than any shout. Imagine him still young, still swift, still belonging to that small place even when the world knew his name.
Why this person is known: Irish footballer (1911-1970)
