Playing career

Crowley first played Gaelic football at club level with Dohenys. He won several West Cork JFC titles before winning a Cork JFC medal in 1966.[1][2] Crowley's performances in the junior grade resulted in him being drafted onto the Carbery divisional team and he won two Cork SFC titles.[3] He completed the full set of championship medals when he won a Cork IFC title with Dohenys in 1972.[4]

Crowley's inter-county career with Cork began as a member of the junior team that beat London in the 1964 All-Ireland junior final.[5] He progressed onto the under-21 team and was at corner-back when they were beaten by Kildare in the 1965 All-Ireland under-21 final.[6] Crowley also made his debut with the senior team that year.[7] He went on to win consecutive Munster SFC medals in 1966 and 1967 and was a substitute when Cork were beaten by Meath in the 1967 All-Ireland final.[8][9]
