The presence of you can light up a dark room, it’s not a goodbye it’s a see you later. You did us all so proud warrior on and off the field now it’s time to make you proud. I love you superstar. #15 💛🖤
The people of Crossmaglen showed us all what a club & a community is all about today.
They were amazing in everything they did, as were the Finnegan family. Wake, funeral, lap around field-everything. It’s the saddest of days, but in a way, one they can be proud of too.

Jody Gormley died this evening. Life is so unfair. I hope his family can take some comfort, in knowing that he was stunning human being.
He was the best of us❤️
Walking up the stairs in your toughest times and using any energy you had, me and liam by your side, I asked what would you say to one’s that’s struggling… you said “you can do it” that defined you and that give me pride you warrior.
Happy 21st brother, love always paco ❤️
December 2021 for St. Colman's I text @ONeillRian simply: "Stringer My God."
"Brilliant isn't he?" Rian replied. Before stating:
"(He) Could be better than me 💪🏻."
High praise from one of the elite Gaelic footballers of the modern day. @crossrangers@patsyfinnegan3
Life throws lots of hurdles in the way. Some you jump with joy and some you fall under painfully. Tell the ones closest to you how you feel, make up with the ones you’ve fallen out with and help others when you can. Life won’t always be easy but it will get better with time ❤️
⚫️🟠Stringer, when you were are on the field, you left everyone spellbound. Off the field, your gentle & unassuming manner endeared everyone you met. Your beautiful smile engraved in our hearts forever. ‘It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later’ Rest Easy Stringer.
Had the privilege of meeting Caolan in Croke Park earlier this year.
In the second photo he’s showing some of our lads the goals he had scored for Crossmaglen over the years.
What a star. What a brave young man.
Rest in peace.
If the world was just, Caolan Finnegan would have spent the next decade on the pitches of Ireland striving, tormenting, goal-hunting.
And smiling.
He was always smiling.
Piece on Stringer the man and the footballer.
RIP Caolan
