Charles Redmond is a Dublin-born former Gaelic footballer who played at senior level for the Dublin county team and current manager of Trinity Gaels seniors.

His notoriety within the game was secured during the 1995 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final when he was sent off but refused to leave the field of play; as a result, the GAA introduced red and yellow cards to the sport.[2] He missed Erin's Isle's club campaign as a result of the two sendings off.[3]

There's echoes of Dublin's Charlie Redmond in the 1995 All-Ireland football final, who was sent off in the second half against Tyrone by referee Paddy Russell, but stayed on the field. Only minutes later did Russell realise and send him from the field. The Dubs went on to lift Sam Maguire and it led the GAA to introduce yellow and red cards.
