Peter Barry (Bundoran)
I do believe Peter Barry was on the subs bench when St Joseph's played Dunmore McHales in the second game in the All-Ireland club final of 1968 in Tuam. I had him in the county minor team in 1970. And he came straight into the senior team that year and I remember him playing in a league game against Westmeath in Mullingar along with Josie Gallagher and John Boyle of Ardara.
Peter had a short run at county level. He went to England for a short time. He was a midfielder and one of a family of big men, he was just over 6f. But he had a pair of long arms, like a monkey. He had a good fetch and a good spring and he had two good feet. He is an uncle of former Mayo midfielder Tom Parsons and I could see a lot of Peter in Parsons.
Peter spent some time in the US and is now living in Sheffield in England.
