Martin Shovlin

Martin Shovlin (born 1960/1) is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played for Naomh Ultan and the Donegal county team.

[3] He was part of Donegal's successful 1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship team.

[5] Donegal captain Anthony Molloy singled Shovlin out for a special mention in his victory speech.

[6] Earlier that year, Hogan Stand indicated that: "Even objective observers of the game in Donegal recognised that the Shovlin, Gavigan and Reid combination probably represented the best lie of defence in the country.

The Dublin trio of Curran, Carr and Heery were the only other combination which vied for that tag, it was suggested".
