If Anthony Molloy thought that Donegal’s success over the past decade or so would push him towards obscurity, it hasn’t proven to be the case.
After all, there’s nothing like the first. Michael Murphy, who became the second man from the county to lift the Sam Maguire Cup in 2012, 20 years after Molloy, has achieved iconic status in Donegal and beyond, but there’s plenty of room for both of them.
Molloy features on tonight’s edition of Laochra Gael on TG4 (9.30pm) and, among many things, it pores over the social demands that were placed on him in the aftermath of the 1992 success, ultimately leading to his developing a drink problem and the collapse of his marriage.
