Ultimate Ulster The Polls

[Square Ball]

As Milltown Row aint about I will do a poll for this. I am sticking to the 10 on the TV show and see what we get.

the poll will close on Wednesday and I will change it to food.

[Trevor Hill]

Joey gets my vote. Quiet, unassuming, a real nice guy. Unlike most famous people from NI he didn't like the limelight. Done so much for charity that went unnoticed.
I met Joey in Newry one Sunday many many years ago. He was World Champion at the time, but was driving his own van. He pulled in for a chat, gave us some photos and Honda tshirts and left a great impression on me and my mates.
I was shocked and saddened when I learned of his death, but he died doing what he loved and he wouldn't have had it any other way.

[Tony Baloney]

If voting purely for a combination of personality and achievement then only Joey or Seamus for me.

Disgrace that Hugo Duncan isn't included.

Disgrace that Hugo Duncan isn't included.

wondered why Julian wasn't there either, then I realised hes a useless irritating plonker

[milltown row]

I went for Mary Peters, fantastic person and achieved something that no one from N.Ireland/Ulster has done since such was the feat.

wont let me let you vote twice, used to be able to do it.

I voted for Dr P, think of the many lives he has helped to save

While I am no fan of the SDLP, I think John Hume's legacy will be mighty when the history of the Troubles and the peace process is remembered. He drove on and talked to the IRA to get them into the talks and got a lot of stick from ones in his own party and all sides. A man of great vision, and while he became very repetative, maybe was because he stuck by his beliefs and wanted to keep sending out his message. I have great admiration and gratitude for him.

[norabeag]

No word of Mr Nolan on the list. Thats disappointing

[Aerlik]

No mention of Charles Bayly Franklin, one of, if not the first Irishman to get a podium finish at the TT races.
