There wasn't a dry eye in the house.

Jim McGuinness was on the Late Late Show tonight, speaking about his life after leading Donegal to All-Ireland glory and his own personal journey from Glenties to coaching at Celtic. McGuinness told Ryan Tubridy the tragic story behind the deaths of two of his brothers. Charles was just 16 when he died, and Mark, who Jim called his 'best friend', died in a car accident while dropping the future All-Ireland winning manager to the airport. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9A_RsufD5k&feature=youtu.be The 42 year old's powerful, tragic stories also drew a strong reaction from Twitter users. https://twitter.com/JerMcCarthy/status/660219732558282753 https://twitter.com/ckeightley10/status/660219618552868864 https://twitter.com/NiamhChinnOir/status/660219266600468480 https://twitter.com/jerezdelafront/status/660218820431360004 https://twitter.com/MrNiallMcGarry/status/660220049375019009 https://twitter.com/alancaw/status/660222371144470528 https://twitter.com/Brian_farrell11/status/660225102089449472 https://twitter.com/AussieGleeson/status/660219500407713792 https://twitter.com/CiaranByrne/status/660219653977976833 https://twitter.com/mchugsp/status/660224720944631810
