Feargal Logan. Surviving a stroke, winning All-Ireland with Tyrone. Covid & gratitude

Author: BBC Radio Ulster February 11, 2025 Duration: 59:34

In February 2024, Tyrone were at home to Mickey Harte's Derry. It was a hugely significant game, for many reasons. Feargal Logan got up that morning, excited and ready for action. It was a big day. Until, he collapsed at the top of the stairs. The future was uncertain and he hasn't worked since. Feargal has thankfully recovered and on the 1 year anniversary of his stroke, he looks great and in superb form. Gratitude is his word at present. He's lost friends this year, good friends and many of them of a similar age. His age, Teammates. We reflect on Tyrone winning Sam Maguire in 2021, the covid controversy, fronting up on RTE and the late great Art McRory. Is a return to management something Feragal Logan would consider? Can you work full-time and give enough to inter-county management? Laughs, depth, two games against Kerry that defined a season and a wonderful man who's devoted a life to football, but considers himself to be the lucky one. The great Feargal Logan with Thomas & Oisin on the GAA Social
