Joyce McMullin is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played for Four Masters and the Donegal county team.

Playing career

Club

McMullin played with Four Masters, his local club in Donegal Town, from an early age. He was part of the team which won the club's first two Donegal Senior Football Championship medals, in 1982 and 1984,^[2] before emigration led to a decline in the club's fortunes for the rest of his tenure there.^{[ citation needed ]}

Inter-county

He won the 1982 All-Ireland Under-21 Football Championship with Donegal.^[3]

McMullin made his senior debut for Donegal in 1981, at the age of 18. He helped them to win the 1983 Ulster Senior Football Championship, playing against Cavan in that year's final.^[4] He was again part of the provincial championship winning side of 1990, the same year as he was awarded his only All Star.

He played against Armagh in the 1990 Ulster final, won by Donegal.^[5]

In 1992, he again won an Ulster Championship medal, and this time, helped his team to win the All-Ireland final as well. It was shortly before this match that the manager at the time, Brian McEniff was informed that McMullin's brother, Gerard, had died from cancer.^[1] He chose not to inform McMullin or anyone else on the team until after the match.^[1] It later emerged that there had been a miscommunication, and that McMullin's brother had not died.^[1] He did so a year later.^[1]

Joyce McMullin was part of the Donegal Masters' wins in 2002 and 2003.^[1]
