Patrick "Pa" Morrissey (born 1981) is an Irish Gaelic footballer who played as a right wing-back for the Tipperary senior team.[1]
Born in Bansha, County Tipperary, Morrissey first excelled at Gaelic football in his youth. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty when he first linked up with the Tipperary under-21 team as a dual player before later joining the intermediate hurling and junior football sides. He joined the senior football and hurling panels during the 2005 championships. Morrissey immediately became a regular member of the starting fifteen of both teams and won one Tommy Murphy Cup medal.
At club level Morrissey is a one-time championship medallist with Galtee Rovers.[2]
His brother, Colin Morrissey, also represented Tipperary in both hurling and Gaelic football.
Morrissey retired from inter-county football following the conclusion of the 2008 championship.
