Raymond Daniels (Gaelic footballer)

Raymond Daniels, born on 22 July 1979 and died on 26 January 2008, was a Gaelic footballer from County Wicklow who played as goalkeeper for the Wicklow senior football team over several seasons. He won a Leinster title with the Wicklow Vocational Schools team, played under-21 football for the county and was named player of the year in Dunlavin in 1997 and in Blessington in 2003. He made his senior championship debut against Carlow in May 2006, and a groin injury picked up in a National Football League game against Sligo in April 2007 kept him out of football. He was admitted to hospital in October 2007 with an infection that caused a kidney to fail and died suddenly at the age of 28, and Wicklow GAA games the next day opened with a minute's silence.
