Biography[edit]
Born in Ballymun, but growing up in Glasnevin, Dublin, Rock attended St. Kevins College, Ballygall.[1]
He played Gaelic football with his local club Ballymun Kickhams and was a member of the Dublin senior inter-county team from 1980 until 1991.[2] Rock was also chosen to play in the first international rules football test against Australia in 1984.[3] His son Dean also went on to represent Dublin at inter-county level.
After hanging up his boots, Rock went on to manage both the Westmeath senior and under 21 teams from 1995 to 1997.[4]
Rock was an unsuccessful candidate at the 1991 local elections for the Progressive Democrats. He stood for election to the Finglas ward of Dublin Corporation.[5]
