Matt Gallagher is an Irish former Gaelic footballer. For many years he was Donegal's most capped player until Brian Roper broke his record.[1]
Gallagher played for Donegal from 1981 until 1995. He came down with appendicitis in 1983, causing him to miss Donegal's victory over Cavan in the Ulster final and the All-Ireland semi-final.[2] He was a member of the county's 1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship winning team, when his performances drew acclaim from many quarters.[3] A utility player often deployed as a defender, he started at full-back in the 1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final in which Donegal defeated Dublin by a scoreline of 0-18 to 0-14. Later that year he won an All Star for his performances in that campaign.[4]
He played his club football for Aodh Ruadh and, later, Naomh Bríd.[3]
