Paul Casey (born 6 October 1961) is an English former footballer who made 74 appearances in the Football League playing for Sheffield United and Lincoln City.[1][2] He played as a full back.[2]

Casey was born in Rinteln, Lower Saxony.[1] He began his football career as an apprentice with Sheffield United, playing 25 times for the club in the league[2] and helping the club win the Fourth Division title in 1981–82, but was then released and joined Alliance Premier League club Boston United.[3] He played more than 250 first-team games, including an appearance in the 1985 FA Trophy final, and was the club's player of the season in 1983–84, before moving to Lincoln City in April 1988 for a £13,000 fee.[4][5] He played the last ten matches of that season as Lincoln clinched the Football Conference title, and went on to make 69 first-team appearances[1] before returning to Boston in 1991. He stayed at Boston for another five seasons, in the Conference and the Northern Premier League, then moved on to Lincoln United.[4]
