Steven McDonnell- A legend
Ulster final is here, 7-time winner, bring back compromise rules, Conor Gormley, Cluxton
Steven McDonnell is one of the greatest Gaelic footballers of his generation. A former player-of-the year, three-time All-star, All-Ireland winner and seven-time Ulster champion. Success was a familiar path, and it鈥檚 perhaps no surprise that he made David Clifford鈥檚 dream 7鈥檚 team. Some man.
In this podcast, Oisin teams up with his old buddy to talk the good ole days, the constant challenge of Donegal and what we can expect in the 2024 Ulster final. The former Ireland player also calls on the GAA to reinstate the International rules series and has a plan how it can flourish.
Behind the talented footballer is also a man who cared for his mum as she died from Alzheimer鈥檚. It鈥檚 a cruel disease 鈥淲e lost our mum before she died.鈥
The illness paused his managerial ambitions but not his love of the sport and why he thinks most forwards are failing.
Steven tries a Kieran Donaghy accent, reveals his 鈥榚xtensive鈥 weights programme and provides a brilliant insight on the famous Conor Gormley block in the 2003 All-Ireland final against Tyrone.
The podcast also reflects on last week鈥檚 Colin Bell Podcast, someone McDonnell knows well and the day the Armagh legend tricked Stephen Cluxton into a red card.
Stevie from Killeavy- the footballing icon, the finest of men. Our guest this week, on the GAA Social Podcast.
