Tiernan McCann

Football Codes

Tiernan McCann, born on 24 May 1991, is a Gaelic footballer who plays for the Killyclogher St Mary's club and was formerly of the Tyrone county team. In the 2015 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship victory over Monaghan on 8 August at Croke Park he was heavily criticised after he threw himself to the ground when Monaghan's Darren Hughes stroked the top of his head, with Hughes then sent off. McCann was given an eight-week ban for his behaviour, but the ban was lifted at a meeting of the Central Hearings Committee on 19 August. His father Terry McCann is a club manager, including of Réalt na Mara in 2020, and his brother Conall also plays for Tyrone.
