Realt na Mara Bundoran legend Seamie Granaghan turns 80 today
Realt na Mara Bundoran have wished the legendary Seamie Granaghan a happy 80th birthday.
Granaghan had just turned 28 when Donegal defeated Tyrone in the 1972 Ulster final and was fairly accustomed to being a marked man. From his senior debut in 1965 until he bowed out in 1977, Granaghan was one of the great marksmen of the team.
He has the distinction of being the only player who scored in every game in the championship winnings seasons of 1972 and 1974, scoring 1-5 in '72 and 0-6 in '74 - and all of his scores were from play. His playing career was cut short after suffering a cartilage injury in 1977 but he battled on to play in and win a county title with Bundoran in 1979 and retired in 1980.
