Gerry Casey

Gerry Casey (25 August 1941 — 24 June 2019) was an English footballer, who played as a midfielder in the Football League for Tranmere Rovers.

He is best remembered as one of the Football League's hardest players. He was dismissed for violent conduct in a match against Torquay United in August 1967, just a few minutes into his league debut. This made Casey the first ever player to be sent off on his debut in the Football League.
