Seán Quigley

Quigley plays his club football for Roslea Shamrocks GFC.^[2] He made his inter-county debut for Fermanagh in 2011 while still playing Gaelic football at school due to a large number Fermanagh footballers walking away from playing for the county.^[1] His first game was against London at Emerald GAA Grounds in London.^[1] In 2014, he was dropped from the Fermanagh team after being found playing an association football game on the same day as a Fermanagh match.^[3]

He became the highest scorer in the National Football League and was the second highest in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship in 2015.^[1] He would have won the Golden Boot had it not been for a technical error by the GAA who had failed to count an extra point for Mayo's Cillian O'Connor which was noticed on a DVD, which gave the award to O'Connor.^[4] As a result, he was nominated for the season's GAA GPA All Stars Awards.^[5] He gained notoriety after staying up before a match against Laois and eating a whole pizza at 2am, with the pizza shop giving him two free pizzas upon his next visit.^[6]

In 2016, he was banned for one match by the Gaelic Athletic Association for turning off the lights in the Athletic Grounds tunnel during a match against Armagh, which resulted in Fermanagh being fined €5,000.^[7][8] In 2020, Quigley announced he was stepping back from county football as he felt he was not enjoying it.^[2]

As of the end of the 2021 season, he had made 101 appearances for Fermanagh.^[9]

Quigley was educated at St Michael's School in Enniskillen.^[1] He has two brothers Conor and Seamus, both of whom are also Gaelic footballers who have played for Fermanagh.^[10]
