‘When Neil McGee spoke, people listened’ - tributes to a Donegal legend

The All-Ireland winner called time on his intercounty career. 

FOND FAREWELL: Neil McGee was a favourite of Donegal supporters.

The morning Donegal launched their new jersey ahead of the 2022 season at the GAA Training Centre in Convoy, Declan Bonner was asked if Neil McGee would follow Paddy McGrath in retiring from inter-county football.

Together, McGrath and McGee were two-thirds of the full-back line who won Donegal’s second All-Ireland with a 2-11 to 0-13 win over Mayo in 2012. That cloudy Monday December day, McGrath, at 32, had called time, having debuted in 2010.
