Bryan Cullen

Bryan Cullen (born 7 April 1984) is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played as a left wing-forward at senior level for the Dublin county team.

[3] Cullen was called up to the Dublin Senior team in 2003, and made his League debut against Armagh in February 2003.

[3] In 2005, he won a Leinster Senior Football Championship medal with Dublin; defeating Laois in the final, with Cullen scoring three points.

Cullen continued to captain Dublin against Westmeath in the All-Ireland quarter-final and Mayo in the semi-final despite Moran's return to fitness.

Later in the year, he won a fourth consecutive Leinster Championship medal with the county, before being beaten by Tyrone in the All-Ireland quarter-final stage.

Cullen guided Dublin to victory as captain in their opening match of the 2011 Leinster Senior Football Championship against Laois.

Dublin won the 2011 Leinster senior football championship with a disappointing performance against a strong Wexford side.

Unlike last year, Dublin pulled off a hugely convincing victory over Tyrone with Diarmuid Connolly dominating the scoring and Cullen continuing his trend of a point a game.

Cullen scored again and Dublin won the game in a low-scoring affair ending sixteen years of absence from the all-Ireland final.

In the dying minutes of the game, goalkeeper Stephen Cluxton kicked a free over the bar to give Dublin a dramatic victory against a stunned Kerry side.

[13] After the 2011 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Cullen was offered the role of coaching Leinster Rugby's academy players.

[14] Cullen married to Cork native, Ailis McSweeney in January 2013, who is the current holder of the Irish record for the 100m sprint.
