Tommy Carr

The former Dublin player and manager was appointed manager of the Roscommon senior football team in late 2002. He guided Roscommon to the quarter-finals of the All-Ireland championship a year later.

A well-respected figure in the GAA, Carr currently devotes some time to GAA analysis on RTE radio.

John O'Mahony

The Ballaghaderreen native guided Galway to All-Ireland honours in 1998 and 2001. Ironically, Roscommon had beaten Galway in 2001 but O'Mahony and the Tribesmen gained revenge in the All-Ireland quarter-final in Castlebar.

Appointed manager of the Mayo football team after the departure of Mickey Moran, O'Mahony will be hoping to build a new team after this year's qualifier defeat to Derry.

Marty Morrissey

The Clare man announced his arrival on RTE television in 1992 when he famously quipped that there "wouldn't be a cow milked in Clare" after the Banner's Munster football championship success.

A regular on RTE's coverage of big match days in Croke Park, Marty is one of the most well-known faces in Gaelic games.

Dermot Earley

The former Roscommon footballer has moulded a successful career for himself in the army but he has never forgotten his Roscommon roots.

He played a key role "behind the scenes" in Roscommon's All-Ireland minor success in 2006.

A former Roscommon manager, Earley graced the fields of Ireland in the primrose and blue jersey, delivering many fantastic performances at midfield for his county.
