    Many Celtic legends have been linked with the GAA Packie bonner , Martin O`neill and a man of my own county (Armagh) Neil Lennon so does anyone know of anymore???:celt_2:

    Niall McGinn could have played for my county Tyrone but rejected it to be average at soccer. * lol.

    Pretty sure Paddy McCourt played a bit of GAA during his school years.

    We signed McGinn based on his Gaelic abilities IIRC.
    edit: Think it might have been Sheridan

    Think Paddy was always more into soccer, my cousin in Buncrana played against him and Darron Gibson when they were younger.

    Thats true. Even players who were football all the way most likely would have at least played for their school team if not the local club team as well.

    Although he hasn't played for Celtic, I think Kevin Doyle has been linked with GAA. Don't know anything about that sport tbh, but the few video I watched on youtube amazed me ! A man run with the ball on his hands and then kicked it ! :56: Look fun, shame we don't know anything about that sport in France.

    Hurling is a far better game to be playing. Played Gaelic for a couple of months and it is utter * compared to hurling
