Chrissy McKaigue: You do what’s needed

Monaghan. March 3, 2012. A turning point in Chrissy McKaigue’s career.

An athletic wing-man, back or forward, in his minor and U21 days, McKaigue came back from his brief stint in Australian Rules football a bigger, bulkier, more athletic player.

He came home and resumed his career in the half-forward line, as expected. But when Kevin McCloy and Kevin McGuckin retired, Derry were left with a deficiency at full-back.
