Yet away from his job as the city's GAA Games Promotion Officer, the Doire Trasna stalwart has filled almost every role possible in the Waterside club, should it be managing the senior team to a couple of Junior Championship victories or over-seeing the blossoming underage structures.
His tireless work means there few better placed to cast his eye over the best of the Pearses playing staff and select his own 'Doire Trasna Dream 15' and he's picked quite a squad. See what you make of it . . .
5. WING-BACK: Aaron Callaghan
Aaron was an exceptional attacking wing-back and a real threat from deep. Deadly from frees and 45s off the ground, and great range of passing. Photo: Derry Journal
6. CENTRE HALF-BACK: Eoghan Carlin
Eoghan is a strong, physical presence. Reads play well and has real leadership qualities. Always a good communication link with side-line. Suffered a devastating injury during Ulster quarter-final and was huge loss. Photo: Derry Journal
7. WING-BACK: Conor Houston
Always remember his outstanding performance in 2017 Derry Junior final. Conor loves to attack and always contributed well with scores. Possessed a sweet left foot and had a real engine to get up and down field. Photo: Derry Journal
8. MIDFIELD: Paul Quigley
Paul is at times imperious in this position at our level. Absolutely brilliant in the air and attacks with pace to commit opposition defenders. Covers serious ground. Photo: Derry Journal
