David Clarke’s retirement has been met with an outpouring of admiration from players, GAA officials and fans.
Ballina Stephenite’s Oifigeach na Gaeilge Tom Maughan says David was ‘a tremendous role model to young footballers’.
The former Stephenites President and Secretary was a founding member of the club's Bord na N-Óg and has coached Clarkey since national school.
Tom told Midwest Radio’s John Morley that David was a man who never shied away from hard work.
