Paul Galvin is an Irish Gaelic footballer who plays for Kerry and Finuge. He is the Kerry captain for the 2008 season. He is a school teacher by profession.
Paul Galvin has been on the All-Ireland winning side for Kerry on three occasions. With two wins against Mayo in 2004 and 2006, and the latest against Cork in 2007. His first All-Ireland Senior Football medal saw Kerry as comfortable winners in 2004, the second saw a complete drubbing of the Mayo side in 2006 and the third was an equally big defeat of Cork in 2007. Which also completed the first back to back victories in 17 years. Paul Galvin was on the winning side for Kerry in the National Football League for the years 2004 and 2006. Galvin received an allstar in 2004 for his performances in Kerrys all-Ireland win and again in 2006, having the honour of being the 1,000th allstar recipient .
He is just as well known for his roughish behaviour as his unquestionable football ability. His competitive and aggressive playing style often spill over, most notably in the 2006 quarter final when he got sent off for an altercation with Armagh water carrier John Toal, who was also sent off. In 2007 though the football skills shone through as he helped the Kerry footballers win their 35th All-Ireland Football title.
Paul Galvin will have the honour of captaining the Kerry footballers in the 2008 season, as the team searches for the 3-in-a-row, after Feale Rangers won the county final in 2007.
Galvin is also an accomplished hurler with his Lixnaw cub having won 3 County Hurling Championships in 1999, 2005 and 2007.
