His skill, leadership and refusal to give up were a constant source of strength to players and supporters alike.
When Danny’s playing days were over he continued to show a strong interest in the club, attending matches and becoming a member of the committee.
When his children came along, Danny began mentoring underage teams with Glenshesk and also joined the committee to assist the development of the club. His love for all things GAA was evident to anyone who ever spoke with him and he always had the best interests of the club close to his heart.
