Career
editBorn in Banagher, County Offaly, McGuckin first came to prominence on the St. Rynagh's club side that won four County Championship title in six seasons between 1987 and 1993. The last of these was converted into a Leinster Club Championship title. Success at club level saw McGuckin drafted onto the Offaly senior team during the 1990-91 National League. He collected his first silverware with the team in 1994 when Offaly won the Leinster Championship before ending the season as an All-Ireland Championship-winner after a defeat of Limerick in the final.[1][2] McGuckin won a second successive provincial title the following year before captaining the team for the 1996 season.[3] His son, Charlie McGuckin, has lined out for the Wexford senior hurling team.
