It's actually very hard. My list is from the early 80s onwards. You have Jack O'Shea juxtaposed with Darragh O'Sé, Mikey Sheehy and Matt Connor with Maurice Fitzgerald, Gooch and Canavan. Bobby O'MAlley and Martin O'Connell with Ricey McMenamin and Keith Higgins. It's very, very hard to do a team of the last 35 years.

I am assuming the likes of Sam Maguire,Mick Hogan and Bill Squires Gannon will be on Hardy's list?

Throw ball

McAlinden
Paudie O'Shea Darren Fay Tony Scullion
Aaron Kernan Geezer Tomas O'Shea
Mark Grimley Jack O Shea
Diarmuid Connolly  Ciaran McDonald Oisin McConville
Jamie Clarke Maurice Fitzgerald Stevie McDonnell

I picked the players I enjoyed watching play and not necessarily who I thought were the best players. Obviously this will show a bias in favour of Armagh and against Down and Tyrone.

Brian McAlinden was the first keeper I remember with a real kick out strategy. Despite Joe Brolly down playing him a few years ago Mark Grimley was the best fielder of the ball I ever saw. May not be as useful in the current day but if injury had not forced him to quit Armagh Harps may have been able to stop Crossmaglen's incredible run before it started!
