If you were throwing a party and you could invite anyone in the world, dead or alive, who would you ask around? Druski.
Where do you like to go out to celebrate after a big victory? The Thatch is hard to beat at the moment.
What’s the worst pitch you’ve ever played on? Dungloe’s pitch is a minefield at times.
Which character in any film are you most like? Fogell – Superbad.
Any odd items in your kit bag? Holy cross always hanging in my bag.
Who’s the biggest joker in the team you play for? Most of the older lads are big jokers. AJ Gallagher and Brick (Dermot Molloy) mostly.
Who is the worst/best trainer? Worst trainer- me. Best trainer- Finnbarr Roarty.
Who spends most time in front of the mirror in the dressing room? Logan Quinn.
Who’s the best/worst person to sit beside on the team bus? Worst – Finnbarr, poor tunes and doesn’t shut up. Best – Conan Brannigan is chilled out.
Who has the best and who has the worst diet on the team, and what does it include? Worst – I’m up there on a match day a full bag of skittles and any other sweets I can get my hands on before throw up. Best – the county fellas wouldn’t step a foot out of line now when we see them, pasta and chicken is the go to with them.
Toughest opponent you have faced? Noel O’Donnell this year. Didn’t give me a sniff of it.
Best or worst quote you’ve heard, either from a manager, player, opponent? “I’ve a pair of Wellington boots on me boys, and I can kick the ball over the bar,” was said when one of our shooting drills was going a bit wayward. Not hard for most people in the club to guess who said that!!
Best manager you’ve ever played under? Gerry Jack and Pat Ward were a serious duo from U6 to U12.
Best ever performance? A certain primary school game is coming to mind against our rivals from Ardara. Myself and Oran Doherty were midfield and I kicked 2-10 and Oran kicked the rest. We’ll never stop talking about that one.
One to forget? The minor final against Four Masters this year, being so close again it was a tough pill to swallow afterwards.
Sporting ambition? To win a Dr Maguire with Naomh Conaill.
When you were playing in the back garden, who did you pretend to be? Conor McManus.
If you were in charge of transfers, who’d be in and who’d be out of the team? Finnbarr Roarty would have to go, we’d get a serious figure for him at the moment! Nothing personal business is business. Michael Langan would be a massive boost to any team.
