Stephen Cassidy (Gaelic footballer)

Stephen Cassidy is an Irish former Gaelic footballer, born in Glasgow, Scotland, but living in Gweedore, County Donegal, from a young age. He played his club football for Gaoth Dobhair and was on the Donegal county team. He made his Donegal debut in October in what was Mickey Moran's first game in charge, a league victory at home to Offaly in which he scored a point, and he was first called up to the Donegal senior team by Brian McEniff for winter training in 2003. With his county he played in the League, the Championship and the Dr McKenna Cup. With his club he scored a goal and a point in the final of the 2006 Donegal Senior Football Championship, which his team won. His younger brother Kevin has said that watching Stephen play as Gaoth Dobhair won a Ghaeltacht Championship inspired him to turn from soccer to Gaelic football.
