Former Dublins star Alan Brogan has led the tributes to Colm McFadden after Donegal's record scorer revealed he is hanging up his inter-county boots.

33-year-old McFadden brought the curtain down on his 15 years in the county jersey following yesterday's 1-10 to 1-15 All-Ireland SFC quarter-final defeat at the hands of Dublin.

The St Michael's clubman accumulated an impressive 25-434 during his 170 appearances on the inter-county stage and his medal collection includes All-Ireland SFC, All-Star, NFL and Ulster SFC honours.

Always enjoyed watching Colm McFadden..he was top class. Not easy tonight but he deserves the plaudits for what he gave to Donegal.

Colm McFadden has been the terror of every top class defence with his deadly accuracy- Superb Craftsmen Distance not a problem.
