Greatest "line" in football

[redandblackareback]

Down FB line Lavery,Murphy,Rice in the 60s, we will never see their like again

+1

-Totally agree, its easy to pick out the marque forward lines we had but we will certainly not see anything like them in this current era for Down football Pangurban sadly

When I hear the name 'Stafford' I instantly think 'O'Rourke & Flynn'.
They were a unit, a troika if you will.
The most iconic FF line in history.

[DuffleKing]

Greatest in history is a very high accolade and its only for that nitpick reason that I'd question stafford. An exceptional free taker and finisher in space, he was fairly markable. He tended to benefit from the opposition's best markers picking up the other 2.

Johnstone, Mooney and O Brien. BMW. Kings of Leon. Big Tom, Larry Cunningham and Daniel O Donnell.

Maxi Dick & Twink .....

In 2008 - Harte/Gormley/Jordan were in some form  as the summer progressed.

1999 - Murphy/Geraghty/Curtis were unstoppable. Replace Curtis with Giles and it was a dream FF line.

giles in corner forward??

[donegal_abu]

Probably being a tad biased here but I think the best half backline would be : Neil mcgee, karl lacey, paddy mcgrath, frank mcglynn, kevin cassidy, anthony thompson, neil gallagher, christy toye, mark mchugh, ryan bradley, michael hegarty, michael murphy & patrick mcbrearty

Giles could have played anywhere in the forward unit. As a roving CF I wouldn't have liked to be the CB marking him. No doubting CHF suited him most but a Giles-Geraghy-Murphy line in 1999 wouldn't set much better. I know he played CHB in club football but did he play in defence against Armagh minors in 1992?

[Hardy]

No, he was no. 15 on that team. There was, as you say, a widely held view that he should be CHB for Meath, shared by myself until I witnessed it tried in a couple of qualifiers in one of those years when we were always playing qualifiers against Fermanagh and Monaghan or Cavan. It was a disaster. Trevor wasn't a defender, as it turned out.

But your proposed FF line of Murphy, Geraghty, Giles makes as much sense as Murphy, Geraghty and anyone else because that's the way it worked for that few years.

[Jinxy]

Murphy, Geraghty and Ray Magee could have been the greatest FF line in history!

[norabeag]

Suarez, Terry & Eugene Terre Blanche. Never a black mark against them. Always played white to the final whistle.
