Andy McCallin

Andy McCallin was a dual player of Gaelic games, playing both hurling and football for the Antrim and Limerick county teams. Born in Belfast, he is the only Antrim footballer to have received an All Star Award for his county, which he won in the inaugural year, 1971. His fame began in 1969 when he scored 1-5 at corner-forward as Antrim beat Roscommon in the All-Ireland Under 21 Football final, the county's first national football title. In 1971 he became the first Antrim player since 1946 to represent Ulster in both football and hurling, and he was on the Ulster side that won the Railway Cup football final. At club level he won eight senior football championship medals and two senior hurling medals with St John's, plus an Ulster club hurling medal. He later played with Tarbert in Kerry and Mungret in Limerick, and managed the Antrim minors and the Limerick senior footballers.
