As Derry prepare to face Donegal in Celtic Park, they have been put through their paces by Gavin Devlin, someone who Mickey Harte has trusted to run the show since November 1997.

Declan Bogue THINK OF THE MOST influential people in the Tyrone rise to prominence of the ‘90s, through to the county that claimed three All-Irelands the following decade.Mickey Harte is at the top. Peter Canavan up there. Brian Dooher as a three-time winning player, two-time winning captain, one-time winning joint manager. Unquestionably.

You’ll look for anything at all to mark a tick beside a young fella’s name. As soon as he came across a red-faced Gavin Devlin of Ardboe, he settled his mind instantly. After they beat Derry, Harte took Devlin to a quiet corner of the changing rooms and had it worked out. He would be back for the All-Ireland semi-final. So be ready.

Opposing teams would place a runner on him. Instead of lying back and gobbling all the passes, he was haring after a busy worker bee, dragged everywhere.
