Gary Walsh is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played as goalkeeper for Aodh Ruadh and the Donegal county team.
He is from Ballyshannon. As of 2009, he lived in Derry and worked as an accountant with Derry City Council.[1]
Walsh was a member of Donegal's 1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship winning team and played for the county from 1984 until 1996. He played as a goalkeeper and only conceded three goals in six matches in the 1992 championship season.[1] He won an All Star Award.
Walsh also won two Down Senior Football Championships with Burren.
After retiring, Walsh assisted Brian McEniff as a goalkeeping coach when McEniff returned as Donegal manager in the early 2000s; Tony Blake credits Walsh with helping him have his best season in 2003.[2]
