Darron McDonough
Darron Karl McDonough Date of Birth: Nov 7, 1962 Share "Darron McDonough" on FacebookAlthough born in Belgium, Darron was brought up in the Manchester area leading up to joining Oldham straight from school.
After scoring for the Latics on his League debut in 1990, Darron became a crowd favourite at Boundary Park with his bravery and tough tackling, as borne out by his dismissal at Luton in 1982! Although defence was probably his best position, he could play in midfield and attack and Oldham supporters were sad when top flight Luton paid £87,000 for his services in 1986.
Injuries caused more often than not by his bravery meant Darron missed chunks of his four years at Kenilworth Road including the 1988 League Cup final, although he did appear at Wembley in 1989.
After leaving Luton to become Kevin Keegan’s first signing at Newcastle, Darron was forced to quit the game due to a snapped Achilles. Darron now lives near Oldham in a house he built himself and helps his wife with her sandwich and tea shop business.
