Joe Winston (St Eunan's)
I came across Dodo (Joe Winston) playing for St Eunan's against St Joseph's. He was deadly accurate and a great dead ball kicker. He was just a natural talent with a lovely sidestep. He was definitely the funny man of the team. He referred to Andy Curran once, 'you wouldn't make a waistcoat for an All-Star'. There was a great rivalry between St Eunan's and St Joseph's but that was not a factor with Joe.
His contribution of 0-27 over four games to win Ulster in 1972 cannot be overstated; scored 0-10 of Donegal's 0-12 in first Cavan game and 0-9 in the replay.
Went on to make a big contribution to Donegal at a coaching level with minors and U-21s, unfortunately losing an Ulster U-21 final in 1981 and but for a club dispute could have been still manager in 1982. Won three Donegal senior championship medals with St Eunan's. Sadly Joe Winston passed to his eternal reward in 2021.
