Cormac McAnallen immortalised in song

A FORMER team-mate of Cormac McAnallen released a CD last night in memory of the late Tyrone captain.

Mickey Coleman, a member of the Tyrone squad that won the county's first All-Ireland title in 2003, has composed a tribute in song to one of the greatest players to don the Tyrone jersey.

As the Red Hands continue their bid this weekend for a second All-Ireland, the release of The Brantry Boy is a timely and poignant reminder of the role that Cormac McAnallen played in the history of the GAA in Tyrone, and of the legend that he became in his short and fulfilling life.
