Michael Murphy thought Jim McGuinness could not go up any further in his estimation after leading Donegal their first All-Ireland title in 30 years back in 2012. That changed last autumn when he took over with the county’s footballers in a slump.

“It's so incredible of Jim to go and take Donegal at a low ebb,” Murphy told BBC’s The GAA Social podcast.
