Donegal stars, past and present, have taken to Twitter to express their sadness at the passing of 'one of a kind' Pat Shovelin.
The 41-year-old Ardara clubman - who was goalkeeping coach in Jim McGuinness' All-Ireland winning backroom team - lost his battle with cancer yesterday.
He was also involved with the Ulster winning U-21s this year and senior captain Michael Murphy has led the tributes...
