Fr Liam McClarey, our team chaplain when we won the All-Ireland in 1993, had an audience with His Holiness, Pope Francis, last week.
Liam played on the Glack team that won the Derry Junior Championship in 1981. The competition is called the Joe Brolly Cup (after my late grandfather), and as my father said after the game when he presented the cup to Glack’s captain, Chris Devlin: “It’s hard to believe your full-back is a priest.”
