The Monday Club

Donegal All-Ireland winner Eamon McGee is the latest guest to join Cahair O’Kane and Neil Loughran on The Monday Club.McGee starts as he means to go on with a not-so-subtle dig about never winning an Irish News All-Star, before widening out into a conversation that covers plenty of ground - including the time he briefly marked his own father in a club game.One of the famous “tracksuits ravers” as Donegal failed to deliver on their promise during the Noughties, McGee offers an interesting window into the dynamics around the relationships that helped the county’s fortune flip.Dropped from the panel early on by Jim McGuinness, he forced his way back into a formidable side that went on to All-Ireland glory in 2012.The Gaoth Dobhair man also discusses learning to believe in his ability, the years after leaving a group renowned for its closeness, the challenge of stepping into inter-county coaching with Sligo - and the unique ambitions he has away from football.IN ASSOCIATION WITH FIND INSURANCE NI Find Insurance NI has been supporting Northern Ireland businesses for 50 years, building a strong reputation for commercial insurance expertise and trusted service across the region. We started here, we stayed here, and we’ve grown with the local business community — working with companies of all sizes. Call 08000 126 367 or visit findinsuranceni.co.uk , Facebook or LinkedIn
