What's that?

Just a reminder that we have had other great players not just Ciaran.

Not really the thread for this but if you re going down that road why exclude recent players like James Nallen and James Horan? Likes of Peter Forde, Martin Carney and TJ from the 80s? Johnny Carey, Ger Feeney, Ted Web and Joe McGrath from 70s? And thats before we go back to the glory days of the 30s-50s.
Not saying any on your list are not worthy but ...........

I left a lot of the current players off because they are still playing (Andy and Keith got on my list). To be fair TJ Kilgallon and a few other players could have as easily made that list. Personally I always admired Maurice Sheridan and Michael Fitzmaurice.

Yeah. At the end of the day it s about individual perspective. When I was a kid the likes of Moclair, Burke, Courell, Flannelly, Carney etc were still around - never mind the kids from 50/51.

Based on what I've seen. Had to leave a few out.

Antrim - Kevin Madden
Armagh - Kieran McGeeny
Carlow -
Cavan - Dermot McCabe
Clare -
Cork - Shea Fahey
Derry - Anthony Tohill
Donegal - Michael Murphy
Down - James McCarten
Dublin - Stephen Cluxton
Fermanagh - Rory Gallagher
Galway - Sean og de Poar
Kerry - Maurice Fitzgerald
Kildare - Glen Ryan
Kilkenny - 
Laois - Ross Munnelly
Leitrim -
Limerick - Stephen Kelly
Longford - Paul Barden
Louth -
Mayo - Aiden O'Shea
Meath - Trevor Giles
Monaghan - Tommy Freeman
Offaly - Ciaran McManus
Roscommon - Frankie Dolan
Sligo - Eamon O'Hara
Tipperary - Declan Browne
Tyrone - Sean Cavanagh
Waterford -
Westmeath - Dessie Dolan
Wexford - Mattie Forde
Wicklow - Leighton Glynn

By the age profile of the other players ion your list I am assuming you mean James McCartan Junior?

No Canavan?
Rory Gallagher?

Probably the most gifted. Still holds the record for the highest score in a match in championship football, 3 goals and 9 points is tight going, especially in the Ulster Championship for a minnow like Fermanagh.

Raymie was some player too. Scored a goal against Cavan in the late 90s which is the best goal I've ever seen (and was in the last few minutes while 3 points down, i.e. necessary, with all the pressure that brings), and in a thread discussing such scores, I saw a few cavan posters saying the same.

I never saw much of McGinnity, I'm pretty sure he wasn't going for that goal everyone talks about though. The likes of Paul Brewster and Paddy McGuinness were serious players, and the only thing that prevents them from being spoken with in the same breath as any of these is the relative lack of success during their time. Ryan McCluskey too could be considered, Owens suffered a lot through injury but was a hero, for me for Fermanagh though its Marty McGrath. Had his share of injuries too, but gave Fermanagh a presence they lacked, and was just a real leader.

I was watching this the other day. A very young Raymondo Gallagher - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvvB99iNaEo

[North Longford]

Ahem. I went with Dessie Barry.

..AZ you're even wiser than I thought.

As for Billy ......but you left out the wrong one although in your defence I expect you are one of the ones that would recognise him

As for me in future when I start 9 pages into a thread I will either read it a little more carefully...or not at all!!

I always thought that was Frankie Donnelly. (I met his son in college years ago and that is where I heard about his scoring record).

Just looked it up on wiki and it confirms him scoring 4-11 against Fermanagh but it doesn't say in what competition. Anyone know?

Edit: found this: http://www.hoganstand.com/Tyrone/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=74341

It was in something called the Dr. Lagan Cup apparently.
