A native of Claremorris, Mr Fleming represented Mayo in the 1950s, making his debut for the Mayo juniors in 1951 – the year Mayo last captured the Sam Maguire trophy – before making his senior intercounty debut in 1952. He played club football for Claremorris and the Civil Service Club in Dublin after settling in Clontarf, where he spent most of his life. He represented Mayo in the National League, Connacht Football Championship and in an All-Ireland semi-final replay against Dublin in 1955. Mr Fleming was also an active member of the Mayo Association in Dublin. He was predeceased by his wife of 64 years Kay and his brother John. He is survived by his children Máire, Gabriel, David, Neil and Orla, his daughters-in-law Maitland, Carol and Rhona, son-in-law Friedrich, grandchildren Andrew, Lois, Alex, Adam, Mark, Lucian, Oisín, Cian and Serena, sisters Bridie and Ann, extended family, relatives and neighbours.

" The unlikely duo called in to the Oliver Callan Show on most read in the irish sun Wee Daniel fired the opening shot in the head to head as he boasted that the Sam Maguire trophy "has the bag packed" and will be heading back to Donegal. The country music sensation will play a series of shows in Killarney's INEC next month and joked that he won't be able to show his face in Kerry if Donegal lose after all his bragging. Daniel O'Donnell and Daithi O Se have hilarious argument He said: "I have to go to the Kingdom at the end of August because we've shows in Killarney and I do not want to be introduced to Sam Maguire as a Kerry resident so it is all or nothing. "I have to lay it down to Jim and the team for my sake if nobody else's they have to take Sam back to Donegal." He joked: "I might cancel the INEC."
