Joe Sheridan (Gaelic footballer)

Joe Sheridan is an Irish Gaelic footballer who plays with the Seneschalstown club and the Meath county team. He was part of the Meath side that reached the 2002 All-Ireland Minor Championship final, which Derry won. He made headlines by scoring a controversial and illegal late goal in the 2010 Leinster Senior Football Championship final, a goal that was allowed to stand and gave Meath a 1-12 to 1-10 win over Louth. With Seneschalstown he won Meath Senior Football Championship medals in 2007 and 2009. In March 2012 he left the Meath panel because of work commitments in Boston, and a month later it was announced that he was returning in time for the championship. Manager Mick O'Dowd dropped him at the end of 2013, and in December 2019 he became a selector with the Meath under-20 team.
