Paul Durcan Biography

Paul Durcan is one of the most popular and richest Gaelic Football Player who was born on April 22, 1984 in Letterkenny, Letterkenny, Ireland. Paul Durcan (born 22 April 1984) is an Irish Gaelic footballer who plays as goalkeeper for Ballyboden St Enda’s and the Donegal county team.

Durcan was called up to the Donegal senior football team on the back of club success with The Four Masters. He made his inter-county debut in a 2004 league game against Monaghan in Ballyshannon.

Durcan notably saved two penalties for Sligo IT during the 2005 Sigerson Cup, the first in the semi-final and the second in the final.

Michael Boyle would later rival Durcan, occasionally taking his place on the first team. That was just what happened in a 2009 All-Ireland qualifier — after Durcan fouled Clare player Gary Brennan and conceded a penalty, Boyle was sprung from the bench at half-time. Boyle retained his starting place for the games against Galway at Markievicz Park and Cork at Croke Park.

Durcan played against Armagh in the 2004 Ulster final at Croke Park. He played in the 2006 Ulster final against the same opponents at the same venue. He was part of the Donegal team that won the 2007 National Football League.

He said, “He was always an outfield player, until Martin McHugh made a goalkeeper of him for the U16 Ted Webb Cup in 1999. Although he was nine years younger than his brother Adrian and six younger than Sean, they always had Paul in goals, smashing shots at him. They never let him out!” Durcan’s heroes include his fellow Donegal goalkeepers Gary Walsh, Packie Bonner and Shay Given. At the age of nine he watched Donegal win the 1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, which he later described as the greatest game he had ever been to in any sport.
