Mike Frank Russell?

Fair play Ciarria thuaidh, Mike Frank was not the man I had in mind, on checking his wikipedia page, he never won a railway cup, but did win an International Rules series, so that probably puts him level or above my man. I only threw the Railway cup in as an exta anyway.

My original intent was to see if anyone else had one all irelands at 3 levels, an NFL and All-Ireland Club.

Mike Frank is some man to have done all that, any others?

Yep O'Rourke did it as well.

I think where MFR holds the upper hand is that he got a Sigerson as well. Can anyone confirm?

I think you're right AZ but he has no minor AI.

MFR won a Sigerson and a Hogan Cup with his college (according to Wikipedia) He also has at least one allstar. Railway cup is hardly a big loss, as it was very low profile throughout Mike Frank's career. Are there any other notable achievements he DOESN'T have?

James mccartan?

Ciarrai_thuaidh · February 17, 2012, 03:33:53 PM

Thats a fair haul by Paddy O'Rourke aswell.

Yes, MFR won a Sigeson with IT Tralee in 1999, having lost a final to them in 1997 I think with UL. He was only a sub on the 1994 minor team, but started all the other winning teams he played on. Some list of medals alright. Given the season thats in it aswell, can I ask if there are any out there who can top Seamus Moynihans 4 Sigerson medals? Jim McGuiness won at least 3, captained 2 different colleges to win it also which is probably unique.

Yep, in 1978. No minor All Ireland though. He was fairly shocking as a minor actually!

I assumed he was the same age as Jacko, and would have won one in 75. Close but no cigar.

No, minor in 1973 he was. His brother Mick was on the 1975 team with Jacko...Mick must be the most decorated unheralded footballer of all time! 7 AI Senior, 3 U-21, A Minor AI, A Club AI title...
