Thomas Quinn (Aodh Ruadh)
Thomas Quinn was one of the great all-round footballers, who could play half-back or half-forward. He was based in Dublin and was one of the players who trained along with Seamus Bonar and Kieran McCready. He was also a great man to sing a song.
Thomas gave great service to Aodh Ruadh, St Joseph's and Donegal. I remember one game in particular in the Dr McKenna Cup against Derry where he caught a ball between two big backs and stuck it in the net.
A good all-round player, he worked for the Air Corps in Dublin and is still living in Dublin. He is also still a big supporter of Donegal and can be seen regularly at games around the country. Apart from being part of the great St Joseph's era, he returned in later years to play junior for Aodh Ruadh.-1658997279567.jpg)
