Who is Kevin Cassidy?

Kevin Cassidy is an Irish Gaelic footballer from Gweedore, County Donegal. A former member of the Donegal inter-county football team, Cassidy was twice an All Star—in his maiden season and in his last. He plays his club football for Ghaoth Dobhair.

Regarded as one of the best attacking wing half-backs of his generation, Cassidy has also played in midfield. A fluent Gaeilgeoir, he lives in the Gaeltacht area of Donegal. Cassidy and his wife both teach as a profession and have two young children. At present, he is absent from the inter-county scene after becoming involved in a dispute about a book with manager Jim McGuinness.
