ntupdate =Eugene Ferry is a Northern Irish footballer who plays in the goal-keeping position at
Derry City FC . He is viewed as a promising youngster who, although the third-choice goal-keeper at the club, is still awaiting his first-team breakthrough. Ferry has represented Northern Ireland at under-18 schools level. He played locally forTristar Boys F.C. and had a trial atSheffield Wednesday F.C. During the 2006
eircom League season, the ideal chance arose for Ferry to take his place between the posts when Derry had their second-choice keeper,Pat Jennings Jr. (who was acting as replacement for first-choice,David Forde , who had been suspended due to being sent off in the previousFAI League Cup game againstShelbourne FC at theBrandywell ), sent off in the first half of a game againstShelbourne FC atTolka Park . Unfortunately,Stephen Kenny had not named a substitute goalkeeper for the game, suspecting that there would be very little chance of lightning striking the same spot in two respective games. Kenny's decision meant that while Ferry watched the game in frustration from the stands,Stephen O'Flynn , an attacking player, was brought on to play the second half in goals. The match concluded with O'Flynn conceding two soft goals, bringing the final score back to 2-2 after Derry had led 2-0 at half-time through Kevin Deery's Goal of the Season and aPatrick McCourt header.On 05 December 2006, Ferry played in Gary Beckett's testimonial game against
Donegal Celtic . Derry won the game 3-1.Ferry currently attends
St. Joseph's Boys' School where he is studying for his A-levels.
