Michael Carr (GAA)
There were three nominees for the GAA Award in 1980 - Michael Carr, Noel McCole and Michael Lafferty. Micheal Carr got the nod that year for his Man of the Match performance in Kilcar’s defeat of Ardara in the SFC final.. He was also captain of the Donegal team that year. Michael Carr joined the Donegal panel in 1973 and played over a decade winning Ulsters medals in 74 and 83. He played 23 years for Kilcar and one of his most satisfying successes with them was defeating Killybegs in a Senior County Final in 1993 when he was 39.
