Paddy Moclair (1 September 1907 â 9 May 1983) was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played as a full-forward and as a full-back at senior level for the Mayo county team. After retiring from Gaelic football he was a leading greyhound trainer.
Moclair joined the team during the 1930 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement following the conclusion of the 1942 championship. During that time he won one All-Ireland medal, seven Connacht medals, six National League medals and one All-Time All Star Award.
Moclair experienced a fourteen-year club career with Castlebar Mitchels and Ballina Stephenites, winning nine county championship medals.
After retiring from Gaelic football he took up the training of racing greyhounds and gained a good reputation. His training career culminated in winning the 1948 Irish Greyhound Derby with a greyhound called Western Post on 4 September 1948.
Starting in 1971, the Paddy Moclair Cup is awarded to the winners of the Mayo Senior Football Championship.
