Stephen Attride

Stephen Attride (born 1993)[1][2] is a Gaelic footballer who has played for the Killeshin club and the Laois county team, serving as captain of his county for the 2017, 2018 and 2019 seasons.[3]

Attride was primarily interested in athletics from a young age, specifically middle-/long-distance running, at which he competed both nationally and internationally.[1] However, while in his last year at school, he developed shin splints and this affected his future progress in athletics.[1] He attended Dublin City University (DCU), where he played for the university football team.[1] Initially playing at wing-forward, Attride developed into a corner-back.[1]

Laois manager Justin McNulty noticed his progress and invited him onto the county panel in 2013.[1] He scored a goal against Dublin in Laois's 2016 Leinster Senior Football Championship quarter-final loss to the then All-Ireland Senior Football Championship title holders.[4] In 2017, the then Laois manager Peter Creedon appointed Attride as captain of the team.[1] Creedon's successor John Sugrue allowed Attride to retain the county captaincy.[1] Sugrue led Laois to the National Football League Division 4 title in his first year.[1] It meant that Attride became the first Laois captain since Ian Fitzgerald to raise a trophy aloft in the Hogan Stand of Croke Park.[3] Laois then advanced to a first Leinster Senior Football Championship final since 2007.[1]

However, Attride was unavailable. While blocking a ball during stoppage time of his county's 2018 Leinster Senior Football Championship semi-final victory over Carlow at Croke Park, Attride collided with the knee of an opponent, was knocked unconscious, stretchered from the field of play and spent a night in the Mater Hospital after sustaining a double fracture to his skull.[5][6][7] The injury also ruled him out for the remainder of the season.[8] Attride's teammate Ross Munnelly and former Laois player Colm Parkinson both praised Attride's intervention.[9][10] He later recovered.[3]

Attride took a break from teaching (he teaches physical education and science)[3] at Knockbeg College to travel to Australia ahead of the 2020 season.[11] He was accompanied by his girlfriend and others he knew.[2] He took up a teaching position at Bondi High School and trained with the Clann na Gael club.[12]
