‘Mugsy’ was recently involved in management with Fulham Irish, having called time on his playing career in 2019.

He finished with three Celtic Crosses — won under the stewardship of Mickey Harte — and two intermediate All-Ireland titles with Cookstown Fr Rock’s.

Mulligan scored a famous goal in the 2005 All-Ireland quarter-final win over Dublin, his other Sam Maguire lifts coming in 2003 and 2008.

In the latter stages of his playing career, he lined out for Fulham Irish, helping them to London senior championship glory in 2017.
