About David Hickey

David Hickey was an Irish gaelic football player.

David Hickey is a former Gaelic footballer and selector (both with the Dublin county team) and semi-professional rugby union player. With Dublin he played as wing-forward, with French rugby union club Stade Rochelais as full-back. Clontarf were invited to France to play a game against Stade Rochelais to commemorate the end of Hickey's time there. As of 2011, he was still a Dublin selector.
