Shea Fahy (born 6 October 1962) is an Irish Gaelic football coach and former player. At club level he played with Sarsfields and Nemo Rangers and was a member of the Kildare and Cork senior football teams.[1] Fahy usually lined out at midfield.
Fahy was an officer in the Irish Army. He was based in Collins Barracks, Cork and result leading him to join the Cork team.
Fahy first played Gaelic football at club level with the Sarsfields club in Newbridge. After progressing through the various underage teams he went on to win County Championship titles with the club's senior team in 1982 and 1986. By this stage he had also made an impression on the inter-county scene, having joined the Kildare senior football team in 1982. Fahy subsequently transferred to the Nemo Rangers club in Cork and enjoyed a hugely successful period there, culminating with an All-Ireland Club Championship title in 1994. His performances with Nemo earned his inclusion on the Cork senior football team and he won consecutive All-Ireland Championship titles in 1989 and 1990.[2] Fahy was named man of the match in the 1990 All-Ireland final defeat of Meath, before ending the year by being named Footballer of the Year. His other honours with Cork include seven Munster Championship titles and a National League title.
In retirement from playing Fahy has become involved in coaching and team management, most notably with the Erin's Own club.[3]
