Gaaboard team of the last 25 years

ONeill · July 21, 2011, 10:40:41 PM

I came across this on the old board - we were asked to name our team of the last 20 years, 5 years ago.

A poster called Printiseach collated the stats and here was the result:

Team of 1985-2005

(the 2 numbers at the end are 'positional votes' and 'total votes'

1- John O'Leary ------ Dublin --- Leinster ---- 18 ---- 18
2- Robbie O'Malley ---- Meath -- Leinster ----- 8 ----- 8
3- Darren Fay -------- Meath -- Leinster ---- 19 ----- 19
4- Tony Scullion ------ Derry --- Ulster ------ 18 ---- 18
5- Seamus Moynihan -- Kerry --- Munster --- 15 ----- 17
6- Kieran McGeeney --- Armagh - Ulster ----- 13 ----- 15
7- Martin O'Connell ---- Meath -- Leinster --- 13 ----- 14
8- John McDermott ---- Meath -- Leinster --- 12 ----- 12
9- Anthony Tohill ------ Derry --- Ulster ----- 23 ----- 23
10- Maurice Fitzgerald - Kerry --- Munster --- 12 ----- 21
11- Larry Tompkins ---- Cork --- Munster --- 13 ------ 14
12- Trevor Giles ------- Meath - Leinster ----- 6 ------ 7
13- Colm O'Rourke ----- Meath - Leinster --- 14 ------ 18
14- Peter Canavan ---- Tyrone - Ulster ----- 16 ------ 21
15- Mickey Linden ----- Down -- Ulster ----- 16 ------ 17

Since then (2005), who has been displaced or added (if any) if we arrived at at team of the last 25 years (1986-2011)

Gooch?
Cavanagh?

Sine then (2005), who has been displaced (if any) if we arrived at at team of the last 25 years (1986-2001)

Gooch?
Cavanagh?

That's 15 years.

Wow. Not a single player from Connacht. Interesting.

Sorry, thought we were back in the days when Galway were some outfit (and before football was invented in the north)

Love these kindve discussions, cant really remember much of tompkins and O'Rourke bar and odd video so id move giles to 11 and put dooher to 10 (Tyrone fecker but a phenomenal number 10) and gooch to 13. Possibly sean og de paor to 7, as i cant remember enough of martin o connell!! Cluxton to goals and sean marty for o'malley for the same reason. Honourable mentions to Kieran donaghy, steve o'neill, steve mcdonnell, cav, Ja fallon, padraic joyce, michael donnellan, ah jesus i could go on all night here

The man that started it must of been a meath man

ONeill · July 21, 2011, 11:16:46 PM

This was the original thread.

I'd think that Dara O Se might bump McDermott off the list. In a few years Tomas and Marc might join him.

From my own perspective I'd suggest that any team without Conor Gormley, Colm Cooper and Brian McGuigan in it should be null and void, while Donaghy and Cavanagh should be very close.

I agree dara should be in there possibly for john mcderm, mcguig was/is a great player but Giles was better. Scored more from play and was an ace free taker as well as doing the "Quarterback" role.

All those Meath players are there on merit so hands off!

Especially you nordies.

muppet · July 22, 2011, 03:44:37 AM

VPTBG should be in goal.

ONeill · July 22, 2011, 10:37:55 AM

Philly Jordan in at no. 7?

Jinxy · July 22, 2011, 12:23:45 PM

Where is Fearon these days?

Between entering competitions for free tickets, collecting his winnings and going to the matches he doesn't have a minute.

Id have Greg Blaney in before McGuigan, Giles or Tompkins
