BACK in April last year, Glenullin manager Michael O’Kane picked up the phone to his cousin Eoin ‘Skinner’ Bradley to see if he was planning on joining up with the side now that competitive football was back on the horizon.

Bradley, who celebrated his 42nd birthday just after Christmas past, was not pressurised into attending pre-season by O’Kane given his tender age and his decades of service, but the manager knew there was still some juice to be squeezed if he could talk the Derry maverick into committing.
