Niall Sheehy was a Gaelic footballer from Tralee, County Kerry, who played Gaelic football and hurling with his local club John Mitchels and also played hurling with Austin Stacks. He was a member of the senior Kerry county football team from 1958 until 1965, where he was nicknamed Eusebio for his kicking ability, and he also played for the Kerry county hurling team. His father was John Joe Sheehy, and his brothers Seán Óg and Paudie both won All-Ireland titles with Kerry in the 1960s. Sheehy captained Kerry to the All-Ireland final in 1964, but lost out to Galway.
