Leo McLoone
Leo McLoone (born 1989) is an Irish Gaelic footballer who plays for Naomh Conaill and also, formerly, the Donegal county team.
A versatile player, often employed as a forward, he has been an important source of goals for club and county.
McLoone made 109 appearances for his county, winning five Ulster Senior Football Championships and one All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. He was "the last of that famous Naomh Conaill four that also included Anthony Thompson, Dermot Molloy and Marty Boyle" to retire from inter-county football, doing so, as has been his custom, without making a public announcement.
McLoone's father was captain of the team that reached the Senior County Championship final in 1965.
As a 16-year-old, McLoone was introduced as a substitute in the final of the 2005 Donegal Senior Football Championship (SFC), which the club won for the very first time. The game was drawn, so went to a replay; McLoone's substitute appearance in the drawn final was his senior championship debut.
McLoone inspired his club to the Donegal SFC title for a second time in 2010, with a man of the match display. Then he inspired them to the final of the 2010 Ulster Senior Club Football Championship, knocking out Cavan champions Kingscourt, Monaghan champions Clontibret and Tyrone champions Coalisland along the way.
A brawl among dozens of people after a 2011 Donegal Senior Football Championship game between Naomh Conaill and Glenswilly at Davy Brennan Memorial Park led to McLoone breaking several bones in his face and the Donegal Competition's Controls Committee (CCC) launching an investigation. McLoone had to have surgery to have a plate put into his eye socket.
McLoone was 'man-of-the-match' in the final of the 2015 Donegal Senior Football Championship, as him and his club claimed their third title. He also captained that team.
