Barney Coyle (Hall of Fame)
The Hall of Fame in 1980 was the late Barney Coyle, who had a hugely impressive record with the CLG Ghoath Dobhair in the 1940s and 1950s. His son Eugene received the presentation on behalf of the family. His brothers Jimmy, Joe and Paddy all won County Senior Championship medals. Barney got his first Donegal medal in 1944 and did so again in 1946 and 1947 and went onto to be a member of the three-in-a-row winning squad of 1953, 1954 and 1955. In total he won seven Donegal senior medals. Barney Coyle also featured on the Donegal senior side and played club football in England enjoying success with Warwickshire, O’Hanlon’s in London and Four Masters in Coventry.
