What is recorded here
Dungannon, County Tyrone, gave birth to Niall McGinn on 20 July 1987, launching a career that would span continents and clubs from Celtic to Aberdeen. The small town bred a winger whose speed and instinct carried him through seventy-two caps for Northern Ireland and hundreds of league appearances. What began in local Swifts matches became a life measured in goals, loans and comebacks, all traced back to that one coordinate in Tyrone.
