Typical Tyrone man trying to sully one of Derry's greats with their terrible spelling and grammar!!

One of the few midfielders who would measure up to D Sé, Jacko or Mullins.

I have not seen the latter two to make a proper judgement; but I can make a good call on O Se. I reckon Tohill was a better midfielder than him. He took a lot more scores than Darragh ,frees and from play; he was a better fielder; a better athlete up and down the field and possessed more overall skill like the NFL Final goal against meath when he tip toes the ball into the net would testify. Maybe O Se headed the 'fear factor' side of things where he could bully the opposition with his strength and the 'Kerry/O Se' factor.

What do the rest of ye think?

Tohill was a brillant player, destroyed Cavan on plenty of occasions. Nobody could stop him when he was making those strong runs.

He was no Sheeny McQuillan.

Ah oul Sheeny. Had one fantastic game against Derry; remind me Hardstation what is your lasting memory from that hot summer's day draw at Casement?

Tohill was my childhood hero, so perhaps i'm a little bias, but how in under god could you put Brian Mullins in the same sentence!

I agree strongly with ticklemister, he was a more complete footballer than Dara O'Shea. Big Tokil was just something else!

Indeed, up there with Kevin Walsh.

Whatever about Mullins' management credentials he was a great player!!

Oops. Was in a hurry and copied and pasted it straight from the TG4 website.

As a biased Tyrone man who went to school in Derry during the 90's, I probably didn't appreciate how good a player he was. There was tense rivalry between Tyrone & Derry for a number of years in the 90's where they seem to meet nearly every year. its amazing the teams have only ever met once in an Ulster final, back in 1957.

Tohill had a formidable partnership with McGilligan and had Derry got their act together he should have won a few more All Irelands. in that '92 league final Ciaran Corr had a great day at MF for Tyrone but poor Plunkett messed it all up at the end when he dropped the 45 into the net.
I can recall Brolly's interview afterwards saying something like
"They beat us at the back and at MF and up front all day long and we still won"

I like his honesty and humility compared to Brolly & ye very rarely saw him do anything untoward.

Can ye remember Tohill's tips on at the end of every show on UTV or was it BBC? It was a bit cringeworthy. Didn't Canavan have something similar?

St.Columb's College Fuzzman??

[Fuzzman]

Yip the college

I went to the 95 Ulster semi with 2 Derry lads and another Tyrone lad in the car.
That was the we beat Derry with 13 men day and it was an enjoyable journey home.
Back then there was no Sam in Tyrone when we sang about London.
