Offaly Kerry 82 - seismic. The team that couldn't be beaten
Dublin Tyrone 95 - maybe the most controversial final ever
Dublin Cork Galway 83 - the pure nastiness and spitefulness of the match

I know for sure, because I was at it, and yes, it was surely dripping in malice and spite!  ;)

Any chance LOL
first match Kerry V Derbys Offaly. I wrote in primary school about it the next day. A day etched in folkore featuring immortal footballers and the 3 ps.. a push, a powerful instinctive shot, and and a punch in the air.   
Mc Crory cup final: St Pats Maghera V St Colmans - James Mc Cartan scoring an unbelievable losing hat trick.
Down V Meath 1991. Ulster teams didnt win all Irelands, couldnt believe what I had just witnessed... and with it a lifechanging sense of hope that Tyrone could do it sometime...

Definitely 2008.

Armagh lost to Wexford in first game.

That must be Wexford's biggest victory in recent years I presume.

Tyrone beat them in the semi final 1.14 to 0.23, having hammered the Dubs in the quarters.
Hard to believe that could have been another Armagh v Tyrone semi-final and I'd say Armagh  probably had one eye on the semi when playing Wexford.

Offaly V Kerry 1982
Tyrone V Kerry 2005
Mayo V Kerry 2017 both the draw and replay.
Kerry V Dublin 1975 first one I remember being at,
The heartbreak of all Mayo's all Ireland losses very bad reasons.

Galway V Tipperary Hurling final 1988

Was at the Dublin Tyrone AIQF in 2005 and thought it was electric and a great game of football. It had absolutely everything and Mulligans goal lifted the roof off the place.

Yes of course, Galway!  There was a tasty Dublin Cork match round that time as well - was it the semi final that year?
That's just, like your opinion man.

Don't talk about that one.

Kerry v Offaly '82, one of the greatest teams I ever seen up against the greatest player I ever seen plus with side cast half of which were cousins. And of course the unknown hero who came off the bench to win the day. I was sad at the time Kerry didnt win 5 in a row, but it been a travesty if a player like Matt Connor never won an All-Ireland.

tonto1888

As an Armagh man it would be easy to say the 02 final but I'm gonna go for the 99 Ulster final. First ulster win in can remember - I was born in 1980 so don't remember 82 - and just to be there that day was class. The fact we hammered the neighbours topped it off

Can't believe no-one has mentioned Down v Derry Celtic Park 1994.
Unbelievable game.

Agree WW. Connor was as good a footballer as ever laced a pair of boots.
Shame his career was cut short.
