Ryan 'Ricey' McMenamin is a Canadian-born Irish Gaelic football player who plays for Tyrone. He plays his club football for Dromore in Tyrone.

[edit] All-Ireland

He has two All-Ireland Medals for Tyrone. He received his first in 2003 when Tyrone won their first All-Ireland ever and again in 2005.

He received a Vodafone GAA All-Star Award in 2005.

His 2005 achievements were blotted somewhat by his disciplinary record. He was given a yellow card late on in the replayed Ulster Championship, for dropping his knee onto a fallen player. This was upgraded to a sending off after the game, which meant that McMenamin would be suspended for the following four weeks,^[1] but Tyrone launched an appeal, employing the services of former player, and practicing solicitor, Fergal Logan.^[2] The appeal was successful but only after McMenamin missed the All-Ireland qualifier against Monaghan.^[3]

This indiscipline has been apparent throughout his career,^[4] and he has made a name for his verbal taunting of his direct opponents during matches as well.^[5]

In 2006, he captained the much-depleted side due to injury to the captain, Brain Dooher. The side were knocked out of the Championship by Laois in July.
