Cullen captained Offaly to the 1997 Leinster SFC title and the 1998 National Football League title.[1] He was typically a half-back.[2] To the annoyance of Offaly senior football manager Tommy Lyons, Cullen lost three of his teeth during a game against Dublin in 1997.[3] In late 2003, Offaly senior football manager Gerry Fahey dropped Cullen from his panel.[4]
Cullen also won Leinster MHC and All-Ireland MHC titles with Offaly in 1989.
He played at club level with Edenderry,[5] winning Offaly SFC titles in 1995, 1997, 1999 and 2001.
