‘The whole country obsesses about Dublin’, says Donegal football boss Rory Gallagher

When Rory Gallagher began kicking ball on the Navan Rd back in 2002 he got an insight as to what football was like in the capital.

Belleek, Gallagher’s hometown in Fermanagh, and Blanchardstown are worlds apart but a similar ethic existed between their respective clubs, Erne Gaels and St Brigid’s.

It’s something that has stuck with the current Donegal manager, who recalled the difference in rural and urban yesterday.
