Laois didn't win the Leinster Senior Football Championship again until 2003 when Mick O'Dwyer led them to victory.
Haughney also won 10 Laois Senior Football Championship medals with Graiguecullen. He emigrated to the US in 1949 and only returned to live in Ireland during the mid-1990s.
Haughney died in September 2006, aged 91.
