CAV: DUO ARE A BIG LOSS FOR ARMAGH.Byline: ORLA BANNON SEAN Cavanagh Sean Cavanagh (sometimes Seán Cavanagh) is a treble All Star-winning Tyrone Gaelic footballer. He has won All-Ireland championships for Tyrone at minor, Under 21 and Senior level, and has represented Ireland at the International Rules Series. has paid tribute to retired stars Paul McGrane and Francie Bellew, who he thinks are a huge loss to Armagh football. The current Footballer of the Year Footballer of the Year may refer to:
discoloration and actual hemorrhage at the site of injury, and a serious disadvantage in the meat trade. In the first 12 hours after injury the bruise is bright red, at 24 hours it is dark red, at 24 to 36 hours it loses its firm consistency and becomes watery and at 3 or encounters with Bellew, Cavanagh described him as "a cult hero". "Armagh have suffered a couple of big losses in McGrane and Bellew and McGrane has been a fantastic player," he said. "To me he's up there with the Tohills and guys like that and I really looked up to him as a player. "I admired him because he's a fantastic guy on and off the field. "You'd imagine he's even a big loss to them on the training ground as well but they still have some fantastic footballers coming through from the U21s they won a few years ago." Cavanagh came off the worst in a famous body collision with Bellew in the 2005 All-Ireland semi-final and joked: "my ribs are still sore from it". "Francie is a cult hero but he's a very quiet fella. "Fair enough some of his tackles bordered on dangerous, reckless reckless adj. in both negligence and criminal cases, careless to the point of being heedless of the consequences ("grossly" negligent). Most commonly this refers to the traffic misdemeanor "reckless driving. on the field but whenever you actually got the chance to know him off the field - which I had the chance to do on a couple of All-Star trips - he's such a quiet and reserved individual that you have to admire guys like that."
