All-Stars 2023

[Rossfan]

Great recognition for Derry. Delighted for the Rossies as well. They were a breath of fresh air in the championship with a very good manager.

Congrats to Enda, well deserved.
A gentleman on and off the pitch.
Unusual to see them picking a man whose team only made the last 12 but we'll take it.
He joins the ranks of Harry, Pat, Dermot, Tony, Danny,Enon, Paul Earley,  Tom Heneghan, Gerry Connellan, Francie Grehan and our 1st one Micky Freyne.

Apologies if I've left anyone out.

Not sure what Clifford did to deserve poty, anonymous in quarter final and final. Picked on name alone. And I'm saying this as a huge fan.

Scoring 5-39 in 8 matches. Captaining his team to an All-Ireland final. Scoring 2-6 in a provincial final (under circumstances that most of us cannot even fathom). Scoring 9 points in an All Ireland semi final while being marked by a reigning All Star defender. Commanding such a gravity in that side of the pitch that allows for easier scores for his team mates. I think he did plenty.

Im not writing off an unbelivable year just because he missed a few shots in the final.
If you never saw a football match before and then you watched every minute of this years championship you would say that David Clifford was the best player.

Wouldn't count anything pre the quarter final to be honest. Bad day out against Tyrone and Dublin. Unreal against Derry I'll give you that.

Enda Smith wouldn't have got an all star in that case.

I think Morrissey was asking McKinless about Mickey Harte because he thought Derry players may have mixed feelings about him but I don't think Morrissey realised that McKinless is from County Tyrone. I assume he lives on the Tyrone side of that parish. I wouldn't be surprised if he grew up supporting them.

Ballinderry where mckinless is from a strange part of world half the village Tyrone half derry

Didn't enda Muldoon play for derry minors against them one day, and then wore a tyrone top walking about during the senior game, or is one big myth as I never saw it with my own eyes !

Urban myth....he's one of Derry's greatest

[imtommygunn]

Yeah no question about his football ability. Had heard that story from a few sources.

[Wildweasel74]

No that's not a myth, that did actually happen.

You were there and saw it?

Can still mind people talking about it at the time. It was the legendary 1995 Ulster senior semi-final game. Derry Minors had stuffed Tyrone in the curtain raiser.

It was *allegedly* in the middle of the pitch in croke park...

If it was the top WJ Dolan hand delivered to the Lough Shore, then it definitely happened I think  #hic

Enda muldoon was supporting Tyrone in 05 against Derry. Fact. Saw it with my own young eyes.

[screenexile]

So was it 95 or 05??

[HiMucker]

I seen Mickey Harte wearing a Derry top, swear to God
