Not too many Armagh contributions i notice, largely I suspect as we would feel restricted to the AI winning team - which is fair enough tbh.
McGrane
McGeeney
McConville
Marsden
Stevie McDonnell

Neil Smyth, Ciaran McGurk, Houley, Johnny Corvan all worthy of a mention (in my lifetime) and countless others I'm doing a disservice to.

Aaron Kernan worth a shout?
Paddy mo ??

It's all gonna be about who you seen playing. I never seen Paddy Mo in his prime or Joe Kernan therefore I couldn't include either in my top 5. Aaron Kernan def worth a shout tho.

Francie Grehan and Enon Gavin would  be close imo.
But not many Rossies would dispute that 5. Maybe Smith as he hasnt produced in a big game outside connacht yet!  Hopefully watch this space.

It's supposed to be the best 5 of all time which includes 43/44.
Hardly anyone left alive who saw them though.
1945 to 2010 my 5 are
O'Malley,
Dermot
Tony
Harry
Gerry Connellan

No debate on first four and Aidan Brady has to be included as number 5.

A bit of personal bias in the Connellan selection.
He was my hero growing up, unfortunately injuries restricted his County career.
Aidan Brady seems a good choice alright.
