Martin Gavigan

Martin Gavigan, known as Rambo, is a former Gaelic footballer who played as a defender for Ard an Rátha, the Donegal county team and the Ireland international rules football team, and who worked as a schoolteacher. He played for Donegal from 1988 until 1995 and was a member of the team that won the 1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. He played against Armagh in the 1990 Ulster final, won by Donegal, and started at centre-back in the 1992 All-Ireland final as Donegal defeated Dublin by 0-18 to 0-14, winning an All Star that year. The Hogan Stand wrote in 1992 that the Shovlin, Gavigan and Reid combination probably represented the best line of defence in the country. He vice-captained Ireland on the 1990 tour of Australia.
