Fantastic player but not as good as Mullins in my view - no shame in that though.

Just a pity Limerick didn't win a Munster from that team . 2004 was the year I think they missed the boat.

Still playing well at club level is Galvin and could probably play into his 40's with his fitness levels

I agree! Mullins was a great player on a great team. Galvin was a very good player on a poor team. Don't get me wrong he was good on his day and caused Kerry and Cork plenty of headaches but he's not one of the best!!!

Don't think he's playing that well Indy. He's with Cratloe now, and by all accounts he's labouring a bit after his last comeback. Was very limited for them last year.

They did do one thing no other Limerick team has managed in over 100 years, beat Kerry.

Did they? Do you mean a non-championship game?
