Brian McGuigan

Who is Brian McGuigan?

Brian McGuigan is an All Star-winning Tyrone Gaelic footballer. He won three All-Ireland medals in 2003, 2005 and 2008.

His playing style is that of the creative playmaker - picking out passes to his full forwards, as well as taking his own scores, usually at vital junctures of a game. The main key to his play that sets him apart from his contemporaries is his ability to control the pace, and direction of a match, through leading by example. Peter Canavan, whose influence since his retirement has been missed, has expressed he feels McGuigan's leadership is the key to any Tyrone success, and have struggled to take control of matches in his long absence.

His father is Tyrone legend, Frank McGuigan, but Brian has successfully stepped out of his father's shadow, because of his own achievements.
