Séamus Hetherton (1930 – 11 July 2019) was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played for Cavan Championship club Munterconnaught. He played at senior level for the Cavan county team for five seasons, during which time he usually lined out at right wing-forward.[1]
Later in life Hetherton became a Catholic priest in England. In 1997 he received a suspended jail sentence in connection with the disappearance of £104,000 from a church bank account.[2][3]
