No CiarĂ¡n McDonald. Probably overseen as he never won a Senior Intercounty All Ireland.

There is that much wrong with it that you wouldn't know where to start.

Morgan and Beggan are better than most of those goalkeepers on that list for a start.

Ahh it's only a Breheny list.
Hell have a similar hurley stuff list shortly.

He's just filling in his time between the AI Finals and the start of the National Leagues.
He ignores the thousands of Club games in between.

I've 46 years of watching Gaelic games. Most players I never seen play as only highlights of Provincial finals, and full games of Semi-finals and Finals were on the TV. In the 70's 80's and early 90's I could not tell you how good Westmeath were. Who were their good players. I doubt I even knew what colour Jerseys they wore. My first 9 years (1978-1986) of watching Football were spent watching Kerry in the main hammering teams.

Not a fan of these lists stuff. People always talk about how more fit todays players are today, but their opponents are fit also. Just like less fitter players in the past played against less fit opponents in the past. So you have a level playing field so to speak in every era.

There is always a romance when looking back, time plays tricks with the memory.

Indeed....Cluxton and Morgan being the 2 best.

Anyone saying Clifford shouldn't be in the mix is in need of being sectioned ASAP, do not pass go, do not collect 200 quid
