Andy Curran (MacCumhaill's)
Born in Castlefin, Andy Curran moved to MacCumhaill's and it proved to be a good move for him. He thrived in the senior competition and that got him his chance to join the Donegal squad. He could play wing half-back or corner-back. He might not have been the greatest kicker of a ball, but I remember him kicking one in Newry which hopped over the bar.
He also played one game in Carrick-on-Shannon against Leitrim where they only got one point and that was a block from Andy which went over and somebody said the report would read A Curran 0-1. He was full of fun and a great reader of the game. He was tough and strong but no way dirty and read the game very well. Won a Donegal SFC with MacCumhaill's in 1971 and worked with CIE in Stranorlar. Still lives in Castlefin.-1658997503038.jpg)
