Stephen King is a former Gaelic footballer for Cavan.[2]

Playing career

He debuted for Cavan in 1980, but didn't have much success in the early years, only winning a Railway Cup Medal with Ulster in 1984. In 1989, Cavan had a great run in the National Football League claiming the Div. 2 title and reaching the semi final, only to lose narrowly to Dublin in Croke Park. In the same year he won a Dr. McKenna Cup medal when Cavan defeated Derry in the Final. He was a member of the Cavan squad that lost out in the Ulster Finals in 1983 and 1996, but in 1997, King captained Cavan to claim their only Ulster Senior Football Championship title in 28 years, beating Derry in Clones.[3][4][5][6]

International rules

He played for Ireland in the 1987 International Rules series against Australia.[7]
