TEN years on from when he was a very visible presence in the Donegal management that won an All-Ireland, Rory Gallagher is back with another band of outsiders looking to shake up the scene and strike for a final place with Derry.

One of the most misunderstood men in Gaelic Games, his Fermanagh roots and various moves as player and manager casts him in the role as an outsider. He has emerged as one of the most eloquent managers on the circuit, and he shares more about the inner workings of his teams than any other inter-county manager.
