Damien O'Hagan is a former Gaelic footballer who played at senior level for the Tyrone county team. He played for his county at minor, under-21 and senior levels. While he was playing for Tyrone, the county won three Ulster Senior Football Championship (SFC) titles but never won the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. He won an All Star Award in 1986,[1] when he was part of the first Tyrone team to reach the All-Ireland SFC final, lost to Kerry by a scoreline of 2–15 to 1–10.

Early life

O'Hagan's father, John Joe, was also a footballer, winning two All-Ireland Minor Football Championship medals and two Ulster SFC titles.[2] O'Hagan went to trials for his father's club, Clonoe, at the age of ten. He did not get into the team and was later asked to join Coalisland na Fianna, where he would go on to have successful club career. In recent years, however, O'Hagan has been highly critical of Coalisland GAA.[3]
