Record-breaker McFadden driving on for more honours
At this stage in a career that earned him Division 1 and 2 league titles, two Ulster SFC medals, a Celtic cross and an All Star, you’d forgive him for looking back at his record haul. But that’s not Colm McFadden. He is more content to keep doing what he’s doing and let the dust continue to gather before, some day, with the stack of newspapers his wife Levina keeps, he will take stock.
On Sunday, at Celtic Park, in the Ulster SFC quarter-final against Derry, he will break a new record in Donegal. It will be McFadden’s 51st inter-county championship appearance edging him ahead of Michael Hegarty, who made his 50th in the 2011 All-Ireland semi-final.
