5 Great GAA footballers who never won an All-Ireland

[muppet]

Is there a decent Kerry footballer who has never won an AI?

Karl O'Dwyer

Connie Murphy?

AOVI?

Agent Orange Victims International?

Connie Murprhy won an All Star but don't think he won an AI. Any other Kerryman have that unusual achievement. I suspect he is shunned down there and keeps a low profile.

He is the only one. Maurice Fitz joined him with that honour until 1997 ( ).

What was O'Dwyer's story, was he a late bloomer he wasn't on the radar until he played for Kildare?

Played the 92 Munster Final against Clare and was scapegoated and frozen out after that.

Connie Murphy and Karl O'Dwyer are the two Kerrymen with All Stars but no All Irelands.

Astonishingly Larry Reilly never won an all Ireland but he probably just wasn't that bothered

Jaysus, those 2 must be a laughing stock down there in the land of plenty.

Yip some serious talent there. Throw in Tony Mc and that would be some front 6.

A good few lads like Coulter, Meehan,  Treanor , etc,  etc had a chance of winning an AI because of the team/county they were with...it didn't happen for one reason or another. The unfortunate lads are the ones who never had a chance in hell of ever winning one. The lads who because of where they were born would never win an All Ireland but who were as good as any player that ever won one. Declan Brown, Matty Forde, Paul Barden, Peter McGennity, John Galvin.

Understand the point you're making but on John Galvin I have heard he was actually born in Kerry and his family moved over the border to Limerick when he was a young lad. Not 100% - anyone heard anything similar?

Himself and Darragh O'Se as a midfield would have been some pairing.

Who would have the most All-Star awards and not have won an AI medal is a tasty quiz night six marker...anyone know how to research that?

Plunkett Buggy Donaghy

As does Monaghan's Eugene Hughes...

Anthony Lynch, Colin Corkery, Ciaran O'Sullivan, Tommy Murphy

Didn't Anthony get one?

Well he wasn't part of any match day squad in 2010, but maybe he was given one for his years of service, but I wouldn't count that if that is the case.

[macdanger2]

Keith Higgins has 3, hopefully he'll have a 4th and a celtic cross before he hangs up his boots

Ulster
Benny Coulter - Not only a great servent to Down but a nice fella to boot, superb leap on him, an eye for a goal and a leader. 2010 final got away from Down.

Paddy Bradley - Not sure if he's still Ulster Championship top scorer but a superb player and an unreal left foot.

Conor McManus, as good as the other two in my opinion. Pleasure to watch but has to operate in a different defensive environment than the above and still shines.
