Charlie Mulgrew is a Gaelic football manager and former player from County Donegal.
Playing
Mulgrew played for the Donegal senior team between 1981 and 1992, winning the Sam Maguire Cup that year, as well as Ulster Senior Football Championship titles in 1983, 1990 and 1992. He played his club football for Saint Eunan's. He sustained a broken jaw in the 1983 Ulster semi-final defeat of Monaghan.[1]
Coaching
After retiring from playing Mulgrew continued his involvement in the game as a manager. He led Saint Eunan's to several senior county titles and was part of Declan Bonner's backroom team when he was Donegal manager in the 1990s. In 2004, Mulgrew was appointed manager of the Fermanagh senior team, and in his first season in charge he led them to the All-Ireland semi-final for the first time in their history.[2][3] In 2006, he led them to Round 4 of the All-Ireland Qualifiers but Fermanagh were no match for Mulgrew's native Donegal.[4] He left the Fermanagh job in 2007, following a narrow All-Ireland qualifier defeat to Meath, saying "I've been dreading the prospect of this [leaving the job] because I bonded so well with this group of lads. But I always made clear that this was going to be my final year".[5]
Since then Mulgrew has become involved in a public feud with former Donegal teammate John Joe Doherty, concerning the Donegal managerial job.[6] Speaking on local radio at the time, Mulgrew said: "To be classified as a former team-mate by that guy -- as far as I'm concerned, I'm not a former team-mate (of his)."[7]
Honours
- 1 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship (1992)
- 3 Ulster Senior Football Championships (1983, 1990, 1992)
