Nicknamed "Cat", he captained his county to an All-Ireland B Football Championship in 1996.[2] The Irish News described McAdam as "arguably Fermanagh's finest-ever goalkeeper".[4]

McAdam also played for Donegal Boston.[5]

He later broke his back while working for a plastering company and became confined to wheelchair as a result.[1] He is married to Christine and they have three children.[1]
