Brian McEniff (born 1 December 1942) is a former Gaelic football manager. Regarded as a Gaelic football Godfather-type figure, the high point of his managerial career was his masterminding of Donegal's 1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final victory over Dublin. In his most recent spell as manager of his county team he led them to the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-finals in 2003. McEniff has also managed Ulster for 25 years from 1982 until 2007, and has coached the Ireland international rules football team to victory over the Australia international rules football team in Australia. As a player he received an All Star Award in 1972 and twice won the Ulster Senior Football Championship. ==Early life== Born in Bundoran, County Donegal, McEniff's parents were Mr. John McEniff from Newbliss, County Monaghan, and Elizabeth Begley from Carrickmore, County Tyrone. They were married in Bundoran in 1935. McEniff has three brothers: P. J. McEniff (retired dentist), Sean McEniff (Donegal County Councillor) and Liam McEniff (doctor), and one sister, Mary McGlynn (retired hotel accountant). "From the age of eight or nine my mother had me washing dishes on a biscuit tin at the Holyrood, " Brian said in a ''Tribune'' interview in 2004. McEniff went to Bundoran Primary School. At the age of 12 he attended St. Macarten's College, a boarding school, in Monaghan Town. Following this, at the age of 17, he went to Cathal Burgha Street College in Dublin where he studied Hotel Management for three years. In 1962 he went to Canada to gain valuable work experience, and worked for four years in the Royal York Hotel in Toronto. It was there that he met and married Catherine O'Leary, a Cork native, and they went on to have three children while living in Canada. McEniff returned to Ireland in 1966 and got involved in the Donegal GAA, playing at county level for Donegal, on the same team as the current Donegal County Manager (the most senior civil servant with Donegal County Council), Michael McLoone. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brian McEniff」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
