Donegal's 1992 All-Ireland winning captain Anthony Molloy and 2012 All-Ireland winning corner back Frank McGlynn will help Donal Reid launch his autobiography this evening.

Confessions of a Gaelic footballer will be launched in the Abbey Hotel, Donegal town at 8pm. Reid, who writes a weekly column in the Donegal Democrat, won an All-Ireland medal in 1992 and was involved in the backroom team as a physio when Donegal regained the Sam Maguire four years ago. Indeed, he and Jim McGuinness were the only links between the two successes.

Donal Reid's book 'Confessions of a Gaelic footballer'.

The book charts Reid's life from growing up in Castlefin to winning All-Ireland U21, senior and masters medals with Donegal. He also writes about his experiences of managing club teams in Donegal and Tyrone, and his life-changing trips to Medjugorje.

All proceeds from the book will go to the Suicide Awareness Group Pieta House.
