Martin Devaney (born June 1, 1980 in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire) is a English football midfielder currently playing for Barnsley. Born of Irish parents, Devaney has played for the Republic of Ireland under-16s.
Devaney had been on Coventry City's books as a youngster, but had been released from the then Premier League club, and after playing pre-season for hometown club Cheltenham Town the then manager Steve Cotterill offered him a contract.
His initial efforts as a striker for the Robins were fairly underwhelming, despite occasional flashes of brilliance, although he did become the first Cheltenham player to score a Football league hat-trick in September 2000 against Plymouth Argyle. Towards the end of his spell at Cheltenham he was played as a wide midfielder, on either side (although he preferred the right wing).
Devaney left Cheltenham in July 2005, initially joining Watford, however, Adrian Boothroyd could not find a place in his squad for the winger, and he was allowed to join Barnsley at the end of August. Since joining the Tykes he has proven himself a more than capable player, and helped them to promotion, beating Swansea City on penalties in the Play-off Final.
Devaney is well liked at Oakwell, his fast tempo of play and unique footballing skills led some of the Barnsley faithful to name him "Disco" to which he is now addressed by the majority of the fans.
An interesting note is that all 3 clubs Devaney represented during 2005 were promoted via the play-offs at the end of the 2005-06 season, leading some Cheltenham fans to label this "The Devaney Code" after the blockbuster film and book "The Da Vinci Code".

Indeed. When it comes to organising gigs, I am the 9th laziest person in the Western hemisphere. I'm hoping to move up to 27th before the years out. Perhaps being at St. Paul will help.
