So when his beloved club Na Rossa were in need of an extra body, Bonner didn't shy away and pulled on the goalkeeper's jersey for their Michael Murphy Sports Junior A Championship clash with St Mary's, Convoy.
Na Rossa were short of numbers for the game with regular 'keeper Patrick Joseph Hanlon absent so they called upon Bonner who hadn't featured for the club since 2013, when he also played in goals as an emergency option.
And while his presence between the posts wasn't enough to inspire Na Rossa to victory, it was great to see a legend togging out again.

"I haven't played in three years now, but I enjoyed it.
"We should have won the game. We missed a rake of chances. We'd thought on Friday about actually forfeiting the game, but we scraped together a team and got men resurrected!"
