Jack Sheedy (Gaelic footballer)

Jack Sheedy is a former Gaelic footballer from Dublin who played his club football with Lucan Sarsfields and represented the Dublin county team. He made his Championship debut against Meath in the first round of the 1991 Leinster Senior Football Championship, a series that needed four games and three replays and ended with Dublin losing by a point. Sheedy scored a goal in the opening game and finished the series with 1-03. He had earlier been a panellist on the Dublin team beaten by Kerry in 1984. He won five Leinster championships with Dublin, in 1984, 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995, and took an All Star in 1994, the year Dublin lost the All-Ireland final to Down by 0-13 to 1-12. A cruciate ligament injury in 1995 ruled him out of an All-Ireland medal with Dublin that year. He also won two National Football League finals with Dublin and captained Dublin to the 2004 All-Ireland Masters Football Championship. As a manager he later led Edenderry, Moorefield, Longford and St Sylvester's of Malahide.
