Manus Boyle scored nine points for Donegal when they shocked Dublin to win the 1992 All-Ireland and Barry McGowan was the county’s most stylish defender then. Both were still lining out for Killybegs when a scrawny 16-year-old Coleman joined them.

McFadden is from the fishing town in south-west Donegal, a place where ... the soccer equivalent, St Catherine's FC... The hallways at ... Emerald Park contain dozens of team photographs showing the likes of Republic of Ireland and Everton right-back Seamus Coleman, as well as former county [Gaelic] footballers Declan Boyle, Barry McGowan and Manus Boyle, who scored nine points in the 1992 All-Ireland final as Donegal overcame Dublin. 'Like any of the rest of the lads in Killybegs, my interest in soccer started at St Catherine's,' 21-year-old McFadden says.

Doherty's eye for goal, and his penalty expertise, could be put down to his impressive soccer credentials. As a youngster he played for local club St Catherine's FC, where one Seamus Coleman started out, and plays in the wintertime for Donegal League side Letterbarrow Celtic.

McHugh said: 'I was down playing with St Catherine's, which is the club down beside Kilcar and I played good one day. A Reading scout spotted me and I went over and played with their Under 16s. It was a great experience'... McHugh explained that he played in a different position to Donegal's most successful soccer import of recent years - Everton and Ireland right-back Seamus Coleman. 'I was playing centre midfielder'.
