'Anto is a real hero of mine' - Dublin's five-time All Ireland winning manager Jim Gavin travelled to Belfast early on Sunday morning to support a charity run in the name of former Antrim captain Anto Finnegan. 

The 5k 'Run for Anto' in Falls Park was supported by more than one thousand runners and was aimed at raising funds for the charity deterMND which was set up by Finnegan after he was diagnosed with the neurological condition in 2012. 

'For me, he's a real inspirational character, a real hero of mine', says Gavin. 'Anto was a great player in his day and he continues to lead his community today'. 

In the video below, Anto Finnegan thanks the organisers, runners and Jim Gavin, and says 'Enjoy life to the fullest'..
