Cathal McCarron (born 9 November 1987) [1] is an All Ireland Winning Gaelic footballer for Tyrone. He plays his club football with Dromore St Dympna's, and has won 3 club championships with them. He has also played for Round Towers while in London since 2013, with the county team there interested in him. [2] [3]
McCarron has been nominated for an All Star 3 times due to his performances with Tyrone, and helped his team to the 2013 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-final, which they lost to Mayo. He has coached the game for charity. [4] He has also spoken publicly of his gambling addiction. [5] [6] [7]
In April 2014 multiple pornographic [8] videos of McCarron surfaced on a gay-for-pay website. According to Queerty, [9] McCarron deleted his social media accounts following the discovery of the video and homophobic abuse [10] he received on social media sites. [11]
On 20 October 2016 McCarron released his autobiography Out of Control in Ireland and the United Kingdom. [12] The book discusses his experience appearing in a gay porn film and his gambling addiction.
In March of 2019, McCarron announced his retirement from county football. [13]
A few weeks ago, I asked Cathal if he would give up his Saturday in order to take a coaching session at Brewster Park as part of a charity event. He accepted straight away without question. He turned up and was brilliant with the kids, who were delighted to be guided by a player they watch marking the best forwards in the game.
