Eamon McGee stands for a portrait during the launch of TG4’s award-winning Laochra Gael series
A segment from the latest TG4 Laochra Gael series promoting the programme featuring Eamon Magee, screened at last week’s launch in Dublin’s Lighthouse Cinema, sees the former Donegal defender talk of a different time, one alien to the game he knows today.
It was St Patrick’s weekend in 2006 and Donegal were readying themselves for a trip to play Clare in a league game. The squad were leaving by bus on Saturday morning for Ennis but Magee could not resist the lure of the festivities the night before.
