Edward Spence (9 August 1925 – 31 January 2023) was a Northern Irish Gaelic footballer. At club level he played with Belfast O'Connell's and at inter-county level with the Antrim senior football team. Spence usually lined out as a forward.
Spence first played Gaelic football as a schoolboy at St Malachy's College in Belfast. His performances saw him join the Belfast O'Connell's junior team while still underage, before making his first senior appearance as an 18-year-old.[1]
After being overlooked for the Antrim minor football team, Spence first appeared on the inter-county scene as a member of the junior team. He soon progressed to the senior team. Spence was a member of the Antrim team that won the Ulster SFC title in 1946.[2] [3]
