FRANK MCGLYNN IS expected to be involved for Donegal at Croke Park but it might’ve been so different for the Glenfin defender.

When the 2012 Footballer of the Year nominee was a student at St Columba’s College in Stranorlar, he played much of his youth with Drumkeen United and attracted interest from clubs in England.

As well as trials at Wolverhampton Wanderers, Leeds United and Preston North End, he actually played for Everton in the Milk Cup alongside Wayne Rooney as a 14-year-old in 2000.
