Molloy's Laochra Gael reaction: 'A very honest and raw episode, a very humble man'

Anthony Molloy will always be remembered as the first Donegal man to lift Sam Maguire but, as everything, there's a back story.

Molloy featured on Laochra Gael last night, the penultimate of the current series, where he told the story of having a dream living a rural south-west Donegal, one of 12 children with no electricity, trudging off to National School at Crove and later at Meenaneary, whilst ling out for Ardara.

Plagued with a persistent knee injury that required multiple surgeries, Molloy soldiered on for Donegal and got the ultimate reward. It came though at a price, with him now admitting he was ill-equipped to deal with the fame and attention that followed and how he got his life back on track.

Molloy's story was very well received online by people from Donegal and further afield so here's the best of the reaction.
