Patrick McBrearty: Over the past decade Dublin produced some of the greatest forwards the game had to offer, and no doubt they only would’ve been better had a certain Kilcar man stayed in the capital.
McBrearty moved to Donegal with his family at the age of 10. Up until then, the inside forward lived in Dublin where he spent his formative years with St James’s Gaels, although summers were usually spent in his father’s homeland of Kilcar.
His mother is a cousin of Tommy Conroy, Dublin’s 1983 All-Ireland winner who managed St Vincent’s to All-Ireland glory in 2014.
