Frank Joseph Floyd (who fought under name Jack Egan) (May 27, 1878 – March 15, 1950) was an American lightweight and welterweight boxer who competed in the early twentieth century.
He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on May 27, 1878.
Egan won two medals in boxing at the 1904 Summer Olympics, a silver medal in the lightweight category losing to Harry Spanjer in the final and a tied bronze medal in the welterweight category against fellow American boxer, Joseph Lydon. By the rules of the AAU it was illegal to fight under an assumed name. In November 1905 the AAU disqualified Egan from all AAU competitions and he had to return all his prizes including his two Olympics medals.
He died on March 15, 1950.
John "Jack" Egan was an Irish hurler who played as a midfielder for the Cork senior team.
Born in Blackpool, Cork, Egan first excelled at hurling in his youth. He arrived on the inter-county scene when he first linked up with the Cork junior team. He joined the senior panel during the 1926 championship. Egan was largely a substitute for most of his career. However, he did win two All-Ireland medals and two Munster medals as a non-playing substitute.
At club level Egan won several championship medals in the different grades with Glen Rovers.
Throughout his career Egan made one championship appearance. He retired from inter-county hurling following the conclusion of the 1928 championship.
In 1924 Egan was a key member of the Glen Rovers team that reached the final of the junior championship for the first time. Dohenys provided the opposition, however, the game was so one-sided in favour of "the Glen" that Doheny's conceded after fifty minutes. It was Egan's first championship medal.

remind me of Jack-A-Lynn.
Lush hotels and pretty girls
won't cheer the misty mood I'm in.
Silly, sad, I've never had to write this before,
oh, Jack-A-Lynn.
Funny how long nights allow
thoughts of Jack-A-Lynn.
When phantoms tread around my bed
to offer restless dreams they bring.
And it's just the time and place to find
a sad song to play for Jack-A-Lynn.
Magpies that shriek, old boots that leak
call me to Jack-A-Lynn.
Coal-black cats in policeman's hats
nosing where the mice have been.
And the long miaow's beginning now
and I'm far, far from home and Jack-A-Lynn.
Jack, Jack-A-Lynn
Jack, Jack-A-Lynn
Jack, Jack-A-Lynn
