Not a bad lad. Never sank to the level of most of those snivelling diving Tyrone cowards. Attacking a pub with a screwdriver was just endearing

It’s hard to know who he tormented most, Kerry or the Dubs.

I remember him trying to score a 21yd free and managing to kick the ball back towards the halfway line. It made me chuckle.

I always had a sneaky admiration for Mugsy. He was good off both feet, brave, bold, crafty and a lad who’d rarely waste a ball. I think part of his charm was that he didn’t take the whole thing too seriously, there was a shot of spontaneity to him.

Off the pitch he has lead a colourful existence but he seems to have enjoyed himself.
Can’t say fairer than that, he’d be good company for a couple of slow pints if you felt the need.

A sound skin . His father a gentleman . A great player and a character

Got on well with a lot of the Dubs. They used to go to Club M together when Tyrone lads would be up

I’d imagine Mugsy was the most universally liked player on that Tyrone team after Ricey.

He had that indomitable Tyrone swagger about him.

I dont like this guy. My strongest memory of him is him suckered punching Dessie Mone in the face before Banty’s first Ulster Final, which he got away with and had a fine game.

Had a blast of pints with mugs at an all star awards night many moons ago. A nicer lad you couldn’t meet… The same night Connor hayse was smoking and I’ve never seen something so wrong

That’s good enough for me. Shoot the fucker.

The indomitable tyrone swagger where they keep falling over until the ref gives them a free?
Ffs

Mushy deserved an All Star for this. I hope he got one

The hatred Derry and Tyrone folk have for each other is what the GAA is all about :clap:

I mean who’d want to hit Dessie Mone?

Gormley getting Dessie Mone to hit himself in the 2013 AI QF was great entertainment.

It’s nothing compared to the hatred Derry GAA folk have for each other!
