Coming up on this week’s episode of The Loud Crowd Podcast, we’re sitting down with a man who has lived and breathed football at every level. From stepping onto the pitch at Celtic Park to leading teams from the dugout, Stephen McDonnell has lived every side of the game. In this episode, he takes us through his incredible footballing journey—the highs, the lows, and the lessons learned along the way.
We dive into his early days at Quay Celtic, his move to Glasgow Celtic, and what it was like to captain Ireland U18s. He shares his experiences playing in Europa League nights and cup finals with Dundalk, as well as the harsh reality of having his playing career cut short.
But that wasn’t the end of his football story. We discuss his transition into coaching & management, his time in charge at Warrenpoint & Glenavon, and how he’s now helping shape the next generation through his new launched North East Football School.
This episode is packed with behind-the-scenes dressing room stories, real talk on football management, and insight into the future of Irish football. Whether you’re a player, coach, or football fan, you won’t want to miss this one!
