The Laochra Gael of Frank is a great watch if you haven't seen it.
The bit at the end with Frank and Brian is class.

Frank McGuigan sold his all star in 2005 when Brian lost out to Peter Canavan.

Heard the family bought it quietly - I wonder is that story true?

Also heard a story about how Pomeroy was at capacity for a first round Tyrone championship Ardboe was playing back in his day when a false rumour started that the king had returned to pay for them!

The Pomeroy episode is mentioned in the Frank McGuigan Laochra Gael about halfway through.

Only seen his highlights and read the stories, but genius of a player.

Enjoyed his GAA Social interview a while back.

RIP and condolences to his family and Ardboe and Tyrone GAA.

Listened to that GAA Social interview today.
A great man though a flawed man like us all.
But he was himself - great footballer and a great character.
RIP Frank

Frank McGuigan 'The King' passed away last night! One of the greatest to ever play the game!

RIP. Sympathy to his family, all in Ardboe and Tyrone at this sad time!

Is this the chap who declined/handed back his all star?

It's a couple of posts above. He sold or tried to sell his award in protest at his son not getting one.

Glen Rovers, St Nick's and Cork GAA legend Denis Coughlan has passed away aged 80.

In both hurling and football, Coughlan built one of Cork's most decorated careers. In total, he won five All-Ireland medals, 12 Munster titles, and four All-Stars.

Across both codes, Coughlan's peak years were densely packed with success. In hurling, he won All-Ireland medals in 1970, 1976, 1977 and 1978, anchoring Cork's famous three‑in‑a‑row and earning All-Star recognition in each of those seasons, along with Hurler of the Year in 1977.

In football, he captained Cork in the 1967 All-Ireland final, returned to midfield for the breakthrough 1973 All-Ireland win over Galway, and lifted a second Munster SFC medal as captain in 1974.

I knew his face  straight away. But I can't  work out  what he was best known for.

Did loads of highbrow stuff too, but that is how he will be remembered
