One of the most naturally talented gaelic footballers I have ever seen playing...particularly his kicking and passing ability were 2nd to none and made him a pleasure to watch live. He had a special ability that you're born with which would be impossible to coach.. Diarmuid Connolly is another player of McDonalds ilk with very similar attributes imo

Always remember a story a friend of mine from Mayo told me about him. His brother was working in dublin and was heading home to mayo for the weekend. Outside Athlone, he saw this lad tumbing for a lift at 11 or 12 at night on a Friday in the middle of Autumn and it turned out to be Ciaran McDonald on his way home for a match. He gave him a lift and dropped him off at some country pub in the middle of Mayo on his way home. The next day Ciaran lined out and playing a match.

Andrew Convey Nothing to saucy, but as a 16 year old I had the misfortune to work along side him as a machine driver/Labour for summer work between my studies, in total two summers. It was back when he was full pelt with mayo gaa and at first I was looking forward to working with him as I had held him with great esteem. But little did I know it would be my first encounter with a bully. I’ll tell you one incident only and it will give you a feel of what kind of human this guy is. As Forman he was over dishing out the meal tickets for the week. I was away from my parents galway home and working in Limerck paying diggs too so meal tickets meant a lot to a 16 year old at that time. When I would ask him for my weeks supply of meal tickets his reply was “your only half a man you don’t get them” laughing as he said it too and that just wasn’t the response to me it was for was for most of the younger fellas on site. Most of the younger workers would have to share tickets and club together so we could eat. It’s water under the bridge for me now, but I got my back up when I heard the shite coming out of his mouth in that interview. Never work with your hero’s! Moral of the story.
