He was also open to new ideas, he was involved in the '72 Donegal team which incidentally was the first Donegal team to win an Ulster. He was player-manager in 1974 in my first year and he was manager the year I was shafted [1977], but had nothing to do with Brian McEniff'… 'I went to Galway, a very, very good Donegal team was broken up'. Donegal didn't truly recover until the early 1980s again according to McGettigan. 'They didn't recover until Brian went back in 1983 as manager again'.
