Pascal Vaudequin (born 22 September 1966 in Paris) is a former French footballer who spent the most part of his career playing in the League of Ireland after meeting his wife there and subsequently, he fell in love with her and the north-western region. He is currently working with the Irish Football Association associations.
Vaudequin began playing football as a young boy after being inspired by the Dutch national football team and Johann Cruijff during the 1974 FIFA World Cup. He began his career with INF Vichy the National Football Academy before going to Alencons with Philippe Troussier. In 1985, he joined USL Dunkerque before moving to Ireland in the Summer of 1987 to sign for Derry City. He made his League of Ireland debut for the Candystripes on 13 September against Bray Wanderers. Vaudequin was pivotal in the hugely successful treble winning Derry City team of 1989. He later left in 1991, returning to France to play for Orléans Rodez before re-signing for Derry in 1993 where he stayed for a further three seasons. During his two spells at Derry he won 1 League of Ireland title, 2 FAI Cups and 4 League Cups in what proved to be the Candystripes' most successful era. Whilst playing for Derry, Vaudequin was referred to as "Paddy Quinn" or "Paddy Vandequin" by supporters, who found difficulty in pronouncing his name.
Vaudequin left Derry City in 1997 and signed with the relatively successful Shelbourne. During his short spell with the Dublin side, he won an FAI Cup winners medal in 1997. Pascal then signed for Finn Harps F.C. getting to another FAI Cup final in 1999. He then moved to Bohemians, making his debut against Sligo Rovers in January 2000. However, this move was short-lived and Vaudequin promptly signed for Shamrock Rovers F.C. spending the 2000–01 and the 2001/02 seasons with them.
