Fergal P. McCusker is a Gaelic footballer who played for the Derry county team in the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s.
[citation needed] Although a founding member of the Gaelic Players Association (GPA) even coining the organisation's name,[2] McCusker has renounced his membership and in a December 2007 meeting in Newbridge, McCusker publicly spoke out against the direction the organisation had taken in over the recent players' grants issue.
On one occasion, he almost came to blows with a Newbridge aficionado who voiced his disapproval of the GPA, McCusker wasn't available to comment at the time and the issue has since died.
[1] He was part of Derry's 1993 Ulster Championship and All-Ireland winning team, which defeated Cork in the final.
[4] Following the committee's recommendations, Damian Cassidy was formally ratified as new Derry Senior football manager at the county board meeting on 7 October.
