2004 all-ireland final. I went over to him after the match to shake his hand and ended up receiving his jersey. Ten years later, I still have it and I wear it every time mayo play a match
At 0.50 takes out 3 defenders converging on him, 2 of whom end up crashing into each other, then back to goal evasive action to set himself for laser guided left foot into Mortimer - the Big Mac!
Hair more suited to Malibu than Mayo, but a left foot that would do nicely in Crossmolina, Croker or the Copacabana. His stylish play made the Greek tragedy of Mayo football even more enthralling
Some legend- his name precedes him like the way lighting precedes thunder... he does have an all-ireland, with Crossmolina, all ireland club medal no less.. He should be more decorated tho in fairness..!
Mc was class always will be. Plenty of Dubs only play football because of the Mayo youth system. Crossmolina, along with Belmullet and Knockmore are sleeping giants
he produced a few miracles in 2006 - not least the winning point in semi vs Dublin - never to be forgotten. Respect
I've had the pleasure of shaking hands with this class act too.A lovely modest man.
One of the best passers of the ball I've ever seen if not the best.
Had the pleasure of shaking his hand, a quiet modest man . Class act.
So sorry he is not part of the current team - he carried us through thick and thin - not always treated right. A true legend - pure class.

An inspiration to many, unreal talent
One of the best forwards to ever play the game
One of the greats made the game look easy!!
the ronaldinho of gaa at the time!
My favourite footballer, classy and a man you'd pay to watch train. He could make it rain with a ball in his hand.

+Patrick Nicely put Patrick
Gifted footballer
Sad to see him go

A Deus ex machina - I weep every time I see that final point versus Dublin.
Mayo Abu
How doesn't he have an all ireland winners medal? Such a legend
A true legend with mayo and ward and Burke laying pipes around Ireland
A player that loved his jersey....had passion skill.
so true - pure joy - give it for the BIG C - he should have been playing on Sun - he's still better than what we have - next year!
3rd best player I've ever had the luck to have seen after Fitzgerald and Gooch.
class player from frank in Galway
He was unreal!
Sheer class.
We missed him on Sun - he would have won it like he did with that miracle before
Pure class!
What a player.
what a great phrase - true
Bring back Ciaran McDonald

God
his left foot was like a guided missile! Still is if Horan and Co woke up. We now have mostly journey men - a Prophet never accepted in own Country
when a galway man says that you know it's true
Massive loss to Mayo!!
OMG
