best 15 heavyweight intercounty players ever

[Blue06]

Another heavyweight that's come to mind is John Nallen (Meath) - he formerly played for both Galway and Mayo. He was a bank official, I think - hence the nomadic career.

He also played with Cavan.  He is an uncle of James current Mayo player.

I thought I remembered that he played for Cavan too, after Meath, but I wasn't sure. Didn't know he was related to James. They certainly don't look alike!

Frank Mc Guigan was a very big man - he used his sizeable rear to shake men off - one shake of that rear and his marker would have been thrown off - seriously he was a big man but exceptionally strong -
What about Big John Carroll who played for Tipp today - 16 stone and rising  -

Big Eamonn Quayle who played for us was a very strong and exceptionally talented man for being 6 foot 5 or so. He was asked to play for Tyrone for numerous occasions but was dedicated to the club.
