Description

DescriptionDenis Flannery, from Ipswich, was an Australian representative for Rugby League during the 1950s. He made his debut for Queensland in 1948 and with the Kangaroo tour in 1950. He retired after the Kangaroo Tour of 1956-1957. In June 2008, he was selected in the ‘Queensland Rugby League’s Team of the Century.' He married Norma Dempsey (daughter of Dan Dempsey (O'Dempsey), Australian Representative rugby league player) in 1953, and would become the licensee of the Ulster Hotel in Ipswich. He would cause some controversy when he cut down his footblass boots as he maintained the high boot restricted his running. He would make 1/- (one shilling) from every cut down boot sold.
