Gerry McCarville
Gerry McCarville (born 1955/1956)[1] is an Irish Gaelic football selector and former player for the Monaghan county team. From Tydavnet, he played his club football for Scotstown.[1]
McCarville made his inter-county debut in 1977, in a National League match against Westmeath.[1] As an inter-county player, he won the 1984–85 National Football League.[2] He also won three Ulster Senior Football Championship titles.[3] For the first, in 1979, he was at midfield; for the second, in 1985, he was at full-back, while the third title came in 1988.[2]
With his club, McCarville won fourteen Monaghan Senior Football Championship titles, twelve Senior Football League titles and three Ulster Senior Club Football Championship titles.[2] With Ulster he won several Railway Cups and represented the province against Australia in early versions of international rules football.[2]
McCarville served as a selector from the beginning of Séamus McEnaney's first spell as Monaghan senior manager in 2004.[4][5][3] However, McEnaney parted ways with him ahead of the 2007 season.[6]
