GAA Hard men (all counties)

Raymond Munroe Carrickmore and Tyrone! Dont come much harder!

[realredhandfan]

Aye shorty treanor would have ate ye without salt.   
Munroe was hard and fair.  I believe he marked kevin mc Stay in 89 and he said he was the cleanest but toughest player he had ever marked.  I believe theres very little soft in carmen, maybe the snow.

wasnt his best day at the office but fair he was ! would have hated him marking me in a game, training was bad enough!
I remember him and Big Audi having some great battles down the years and battles they were

Always thought Sean Donnelly from Trillick was hard as nails!!

[BallyhaiseMan]

Bernard Morris of Gowna and Cavan... an absolute tank... Not a hint of dirt to him either.

[Canalman]

Always admired Anthony Rainbow from Kildare as a tough player. Always gave it all and never shirked a tackle when many of his teammates in early 90s were imo a bit shirty.
Would have loved him in Dublin team.

shorty treanor

You serious?  Shorty would have started a row with a sneaky elbow then run a mile.  Paddy O'Rourke was also lethal with the elbows but also lacked serious balls.

Any new hard men in the country emerge in the last 3 years?

Barry McGoldrick of Derry.

[put-it-up]

Bernard Morris was hard as nails. Trevor Crowe of Cavan deserves a mention too. The man drinks pertrol because he is a tank....

[Schkite]

Barry McGoldrick of Derry.

In his own head maybe.

Raymond Munroe Carrickmore and Tyrone! Dont come much harder!

Seen him play for Tyrone over 40s a few times this past couple of years. Has a bit more padding round the middle now but f**k can he still hit a man a shoulder.

[brokencrossbar1]

Two mentioned on this page are the hardest I ever played against, Bernard Morris and Ray Munroe.  Both were at the tail end of their careers but I have never been hit harder by anyone then those lads. Morris in particular could simply run through people not round them!

[small white mayoman]

From what i can remember knockmore's hardest man

Hard, or just filthy ? Knockmore have had far harder men over the years than this fella

the latter i would say and even then your been kind , wouldn't deserve to be mentioned along with the likes of Butler, or staunton
