Remembering a star who ticked all the right boxes

Maybe he wouldn’t still be playing for Tyrone now.

Of the minor team he captained to an All-Ireland, Stephen O’Neill is the only one who has yet to hang up the boots. Of the U21 side he also led to national glory, Conor Gormley is the only other who still hasn’t called it a day. Of the men of 2003, Seán Cavanagh and Dermot Carlin are the only others again who still power on in the white and red.

You can only be sure that if he were still with us, Cormac McAnallen would be putting his time to good use.
