Local hero and Ironman Danny Quigley has received messages of praise from Ireland’s greats.
Video messages from football stars such as Shay Given, Damien Duff and James McClean were shared on the Bogside and Brandywell Health Forum’s Facebook page after he completed his mammoth 10-day Triathlon.
Another local hero James McClean, who recently re-signed for Wigan Athletic, spoke in support of Danny and his efforts:
“Very best of luck today lad, ten Ironman in ten days is absolutely incredible and inspiring. Everybodies behind you and best of luck on your last day. Go smash it lad.”
RTÉ sports pundit and ex-Leeds United midfielder John Giles gave warm words of support to the Derry man: “Hello Danny Quigley from the Bogside in Derry. 10 Ironman in 10 days. Legend! It’s the final day, best wishes, John Giles here.”
