Two days before Dillon Quirke’s sudden and tragic passing on the field of play, Brendan McAnallen, father of former Tyrone captain, Cormac, died at the age of 77.
A quiet man of dignity and decency, McAnallen and his family saved countless number of lives because of the work they did honouring Cormac who died of sudden cardiac arrest. They relentlessly raised awareness about the condition among young adults through their establishment of The Cormac Trust.
