=== '''Struggling for form?''' ===
Although top score in the Allianz league last year critics have slated Quinns recent ISS Pro Evoulution 6 form. Question marks have been raised as to whether he should be competing at all. Quinn has particularly stuggled with his performance against Inter Milan, most notably Adriano. Also critics have been baffled by Quinn's decision to continually start Ryan Giggs. Even Quinn has admitted "Zanetti is like giggs's kryptonite".

Biography

Sometimes known as Mossy Quinn, he attended Ardscoil Rís in Marino.

He made his debut for Dublin in the opening match of the 2003 National Football League against Armagh. Quinn was part of the Dublin panel that won the All-Ireland Senior Football championship in 2011. On 2 November 2012, Quinn retired as an inter-county player.

He was the free-taker for the senior Dublin team. He has finished the last two seasons in the league as the top scorer for his county and finished as top scorer in the 2003 - 2007 championships. Quinn had been coached by former Dublin player and club-mate Jimmy Keaveney. He played 81 times for Dublin and is currently 9th all time in career top scorers for Dublin senior football with 21 goals and 213 points.

After retiring from the inter-county game, Quinn was an integral part of the St Vincent's team that won Dublin and Leinster SFC in 2013 and then the All-Ireland Club title versus Castlebar Mitchells on St Patrick's Day at Croke Park. St Vincent's retained their Dublin and Leinster SFC crowns in 2014 but were beaten by eventual winners Corofin in the All-Ireland semi-final in Feb 2015. Quinn again played a key role in St Vincent's winning the Dublin SFC, with a man of the match performance in the 2016 final against Castleknock. He collected his fourth Leinster club title after defeating Offaly champions Rhode but Vincent's were beaten by Derry champions Slaughtneil in the All-Ireland final in Feb 2017.

Quinn had previously captained St. Vincents to their first Dublin SFC in 23 years in 2007 beating St. Brigids by 1 point in the final. They went on to win the Leinster Club Championship and added All-Ireland honours on St Patricks Day 2008 defeating Nemo Rangers from Cork in Croke Park. Quinn scored 0-7 and laid on a goal for team mate Diarmuid Connolly.

In January 2014, Quinn took up his role as Commercial and Marketing Director for Dublin GAA, the first role of its kind for GAA counties. He is also and independent director for Golf Ireland.
