Damien O'Hagan is a former Tyrone Gaelic football player. He played for the Tyrone team at Minor,U-21 and senior levels. While he was playing Tyrone won 3 Ulster titles but never managed to win the All-Ireland. He won an All Star Award in 1986,[1] when he was part of the first Tyrone team to reach the All-Ireland final where they lost 2-15 to 1-10 against Kerry.

Personal life

O'Hagan's father,John-Joe,was also a footballer, winning 2 All-Ireland Minor medals and 2 Ulster Senior titles.[2] Damien went to trials for his fathers 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 Damien has been highly critical of Coalisland GAA as they have not seen eye to eye about Damien's son Jarlath's best position. Damien's belief is he would make county playing full forward while the management believe he's useless. Anyway he graduated today, Woooooooo, Up Clone.[3]
