Frank McGuigan is a former Gaelic footballer who played for the Ardboe O'Donnovan Rossa club and the Tyrone county team. Despite his playing career being cut short by a car crash, which broke his leg, he is considered a legend in Tyrone football,[according to whom?] alongside players such as Frankie Donnelly and Peter Canavan.[1]

He was known for his scoring ability, clocking up dozens of scores during his senior career, most of them from open play.

His son Brian later played for Tyrone.
