Laochra Gael
Anthony Molloy
Season 22 Episode 7 of 8
The story of Donegal footballer Anthony Molloy. Growing up in a remote region, football was always at the centre of his life, but after serious injury and a lack of success with the county, he emigrated to America in the 1980s. When his mother fell ill, he returned home. The football enticed him back, and he fought through the pain to bring Sam Maguire to Donegal for the first time ever in 1992. Between the celebrations and retirement however, he developed a drink problem, and so embarked on a battle that continues to this day
