Patrick Joseph "Pat" Scully (born 23 June 1970 in Dublin) is an Irish football manager.
An accomplished central defender during his playing days, Scully started his career in England, gaining one international cap, two B caps, one U23 cap and nine U21 caps for the Republic of Ireland during this spell before returning to Ireland.
As a player, he started his career at Arsenal, where he was part of the youth team that won the 1988 FA Youth Cup. However, after loan spells at Preston North End and Northampton Town, he signed for Southend United in January 1991 having not made a single appearance for Arsenal's first team. He did however earn a senior cap for the Republic of Ireland whilst at Arsenal in a friendly against Tunisia in 1988.
Scully was a regular at Southend for three years playing for a time with Stan Collymore, before moving to Huddersfield Town in March 1994. A month after joining he was a member of the Huddersfield side beaten in a penalty shoot-out in the final of the Autoglass Trophy at Wembley Stadium. He went on to become a key figure at the heart of defence in Neil Warnock's side and helped the Terriers to promotion in the 1994–95 season.
In 1996 he moved back to Ireland to join Shelbourne. Under his captaincy, as well as his defensive abilities, Scully was a constant threat from set pieces and would often score crucial goals for Shelbourne.
