  • Shane Ryan (born October 5 1978) is an Irish Gaelic footballer who plays for Dublin. Ryan plays his club football for Naomh Mearnóg and his preferred position is centre back although, he is known to have played many positions for Dublin. He made his senior debut for Dublin on the 04 June 1999. He also plays hurling and has represented Dublin at all levels up to senior. He made the decision to concentrate solely on Gaelic football in 2004, which dealt a blow to the then hurling manager Humphrey Kelleher. This was a turn around from his original decision in 2001, to only concentrate on football just for that year. Shane is a graduate of Business Studies (2001) in Dublin City University and is a teacher by profession. He has an illustrious ancestry in the Gaelic Athletic Association as his father, Jack Ryan won an All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship medal with Tipperary in 1971. His mother, the late Orla Ní Shíocháin was an inter-county camogie player with Dublin for many years and won three All-Ireland Senior Camogie medals. She also won many Interprovincial Championship medals with Leinster. His paternal grandfather was Séamus O'Riain, President of the Gaelic Athletic Association 1967-70 and his maternal grandfather, Seán Ó' Siocháin was the first Director General of the Association having served as General Secretary for many years.
