Best dead-ball kicker - ever?

[trailer]

Stafford v Tompkins in the late 80s were serious exponents. Eamon Mc enamey from memory was a fine kicker. Gormley had a lovely high curl in and over style. Corkers was class as well.

its not about scoring great frees other wise one of the goalies would win. probably beggan though Robbie hennelly hs scored some amazing Kicks from out near the middle of the field .
Consistency is what its about and thats why Cillian wins as teh stats show.
though maybe bounus points should be awarded for importance ,3 i can thingk of are MC enamey to win the league  and Cluxton and Rock to secure  The AIF
i

O'Connor is not ahead  of Dean Rock.

sorry, stats disagree with you.

Stats or no stats, in their prime I know who I'd want standing over a high pressure important kick.

O'Connor missed the biggest pressure kick he had. Canavan for example, same free, same area, same pressure, didn't miss. Thems the margins.
I wouldn't have him in any of the conversations around best free takers.

Rock missed the big pressure kick in the 2019 AI Final. All of the great players miss frees, they're human.

Wasn't Rocks more or less from the sideline? Was certainly tougher than O'Connors. Rock scored that one with Keegan throwing the gps at him in 2016 or 2017 under huge pressure

There is less pressure on a kicker when the sides are level.

I can't remember it if I am honest. O'Connor is a wonderful footballer and hugely talented. Best dead ball man? Not for me.

Matt Connor from Offaly?
Also one of the most gifted footballers ever to put on a pair of boots.
