There are many unsung heros across various sports and for me John Gildea was one of them when we played inter county football for Donegal and his club Naomh Conaill. He was part of a talented county side unfortunate not to win silverware, falling just short in several Ulster final deciders against the likes of Derry and Armagh. In 2005, John was a key member of the Glenties side which won their first Donegal senior championship, having beaten St Eunans after a replay. I interviewed John yesterday over the phone and discussed the current pandemic, previewed the return of the national football league and spoke of his memories  as a player with both club and county.  Hope you enjoy it.
