Football Codes

Mickey Moran is a former Gaelic footballer and one of the best known managers and coaches in the Irish game. As a player he turned out at senior level for the Derry county team in the 1970s and early 1980s, starting at left corner forward when Derry won the 1975 Ulster Championship and at left half back when they defended it in 1976, and he played his club football for Watty Graham's Glen, with whom he won Derry Intermediate Championship medals in 1980 and 1983. He then became a coach and manager, part of the backroom staff of Derry's 1993 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship winning side and later in charge of Derry, Sligo, Donegal, Mayo and Leitrim, which made him the first man to manage five different counties. He led Mayo to the 2006 All-Ireland final, where Kerry won, and since 2019 he has managed the club side Kilcoo.
