Thanks for the memories Colm! Legend McFadden announces retirement

Colm McFadden, one of Donegal’s greatest ever players has called time on his player career in the aftermath of their exit to Dublin this evening.

McFadden, appeared as a late substitute for Donegal in their five point defeat to Dublin in this evening’s All-Ireland quarter-final.

McFadden was sensational in 2012, when Donegal captured Sam after a twenty year wait.

His performances were incredible, and he finished that season as Donegal’s top scorer.

He’s Donegal’s record scorer and appearance holder after a glorious career.

He ran Karl Lacey close for the GAA Footballer of the Year in 2012.

McFadden didn’t feature as much as he would’ve liked this season, but what a wonderful servant he has been.

He’s still one of the best club players in the business, and will continue to be a thorn in the side of clubs sides across Donegal for years to come.

What a player! Thanks for the memories Colm, we’ll never forget your contribution, especially in 2012.

Enjoy your retirement!
