Playing career

Lindsay first played Gaelic football at juvenile and underage levels with the St Faithleach's club. [1] He subsequently progressed to adult level. Lindsay also lined out with the Glencar club in County Leitrim and the Shannon Gaels club in County Cavan.

Lindsay first appeared on the inter-county scene for Roscommon as a member of the minor team. His three-year tenure yielded a Connacht MFC title in 1967. He later spent two unsuccessful years with the under-21 team. Lindsay was still eligible for the under-21 grade when he joined the senior team in 1970. He was a mainstay of the team for the following 15 years, during which time he won five Connacht SFC medals, including a four-in-a-row from 1977 to 1980. Lindsay captained the team to the National League title in 1979 and was at full-back when Roscommon were beaten by Kerry in the 1980 All-Ireland final. [2] [3] His performances also earned inclusion on the Connacht team for the Railway Cup, while he was also named on the All-Star team in 1977. [4]

Management career

In retirement from playing, Lindsay became involved in team management and coaching. He was trainer of the Roscommon under-21 team from 1991 to 1993, however, he enjoyed little success during his tenure.
