Gerry Ryan (footballer)

Gerry Ryan is a former Irish professional football player who was born in Dublin.

Ryan began his career at Bohemians in February 1975 and his performances earned him a move to Derby County. He was later moved to Brighton for £100,000 with whom he played in the 1983 FA Cup final against Manchester United before his career was ended in 1985 after a broken leg sustained in a game versus Crystal Palace.

He played eighteen times for Ireland, his debut in April 1978 when he played in a 4-2 win over Turkey in a friendly at Lansdowne Road. His only goal for Ireland came over a year later at the same venue but it was only a consolation effort as Ireland lost 3-1 to Germany in a friendly.Ryan's last appearance in a green shirt came in 1984 when he played in a scoreless draw against Mexico at Dalymount Park.

He is now the landlord of a public house called The Witch Inn situated in Lindfield, West Sussex and his son Darragh is a professional football player for Irish club Cork City F.C..

Ryan was admitted to hospital on 18th August 2007 after suffering a stroke.
