Barry McCambridge: Armagh All-Ireland hero says new status is ‘crazy’
Armagh All-Ireland winner Barry McCambridge says it’s “crazy” to hear him being described as favourite for the footballer of the year award after not even being a regular starter for Kieran McGeeney’s side at the beginning of the campaign.
McCambridge scored Armagh’s match-turning goal in their surprise semi-final win over Kerry in addition to subduing the Kingdom’s star attacker David Clifford.
The Clann Eireann man followed that up with a superb display in the final victory over Galway when he again got on the scoresheet and he has been nominated for an All-Star in addition to being one of the three contenders for the player of the year award with Galway pair Paul Conroy and John Maher.
“It’s very different now,” said the school teacher of the recognition he is receiving.
“Usually I’d be happy enough zipping about when no-one knows you but as I’ve said before, it comes with the territory with what we achieved. It’s amazing.
“I wouldn’t change this because we’re All-Ireland champions and how amazing it is for the whole community of Portadown, where I’m from in Lurgan and the whole of Armagh,” said the Armagh defender who was speaking at St John the Baptist Primary School in Portadown where he teaches, as he was joined there by a number of county team-mates on Thursday.
