Jim McGuinnes once picked up a golf club, it was his 1st time to play golf and as witnessed by 15 Donegal Players and reported in the Donegal News — shot a smooth 38-under-par round of 34, including 11 holes-in-one.

And never again played the game.

*having worn a Kerry style jersey for years, Donegal first wore its predominantly yellow jersey in the 1992 All Ireland semi final v Mayo.

* that jersey claimed to be "Magee Tailored". It wasn't. It was made by O Neills

* speaking of manufacturers, should Donegal win, will they be the first non-O'Neills jersey wearing team of the modern era to win Sam? (excluding Kerry's Sneaky Adidas jersey in the 1980s.)
