To be fair to the different playing positions in any team, I have decided to use poetic licence to select my SEVEN all time best Derry county players  ie one goalkeeper,two defenders,two midfielders and two forwards. (and I have seen them all!).
Goalkeeper :John Somers
Defenders: Kieran McKeever,Tony Scullion.
Midfielders : Jim McKeever,Anthony Tohill
Forwards : Mickey Niblock,SeanO'Connell.
Honorary Members:Sean Martin Lockhart,Henry Diamond,Henry Downey,Anthony McGurk,Gerry
                             O'Loughlin.Fergal Doherty,Gerry McElhinney,Mark Lynch,Enda Muldoon and Paddy
                             Bradley.

So let me get this right, you have Doherty, Lynch, Muldoon and Bradley in the list of our greatest players, all played on the same team for a number of seasons and for the best part of 6 yrs with the exception of 2011 couldn't put two games back to back in the Ulster championship. Lads have a word with yourselves

Maybe a actual decent outside manager would done something with them players instead of picking the cheapest option every time.

Can't wait for a Kerry top 5, there's a real row to pick that line up.

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.

Ciaran McDonald

Until Clifford does it in an All Ireland and wins he won't be in that top five. Spillane a cert. any self respecting Keery man wouldn't hear tell of it

Wow. Just wow.

Is it the third name? Killed me to put him there but he was a class player. Still haven't forgiven him though.

Nope. L Reilly??

Larry was a great player but was more a moments player rather than consistent. Peter and Martin Reilly unlucky to miss out and Faulkner too.

rodney trotter

I think Anthony Forde would have to be in there, not the most likeable. But was very solid as a half back

Aaron Kernan worth a shout?
