from my own county Dermot Earley without question. a complete footballer.
Gerry O'Malley from the previous generation.
Tony McManus - slow as Christmas but boy could he play.

From those I can actually remember playing though (Along with some subs)

1 . Damien Sheridan (Longford)

2. Sean Martin Lockhart(Derry) Kenneth Mortimer (Mayo)
3. Barry Owens (Fermanagh) Seamus Quinn (Leitrim)
4 . Keith Higgins (Mayo)

5 . Tom Kelly (Laois)
6 . Glen Ryan (Kildare) Seamus Quinn ( Leitrim)
7 . Anthony Rainbow (Kildare)

8 . Eamon O'Hara (Sligo) Kevin O' Brien (Wicklow) Niall Buckley (Kildare)
9 . Dermot Earley (Kildare) John Newton(Roscommon)

10. Willie Joe Padden (Mayo) James Horan (Mayo)
11. Val Daly (Galway) Liam McHale (Mayo)
12. Paul Barden (Longford) Derry Foley ( Tipperary)

13. Mattie Forde (Wexford) Brendan Devanny (Donegal)
14. Michael Meehan (Galway)
15. Declan Browne (Tipperarry) Tony McManus (Roscommon)

Paddy Bradley and Benny Coulter are at least as good as any of those inside forwards. That's a good list mind you.

I would be putting Enda Muldoon in there too.

Yeah there should be at least one Tyrone man on that list

Scary to think James O'Donoghue would be on this list only for a few grains of salt that tipped things Kerry's way last August and September.

The fecker is from Kerry and in his mid-20s - not a player anyone should have had a drop of remorse for.

Indeed.... a very strange post

Hardly a few grains of salt - Kerry kicked 4 points from 23 attempts in the final.

From those I can actually remember playing though (Along with some subs)

1 . Damien Sheridan (Longford) Finbar McConnell (Tyrone)

2. Sean Martin Lockhart(Derry) AN Other!!!
3. Barry Owens (Fermanagh) Seamus Quinn (Leitrim)
4 . Kenneth Mortimer (Mayo) Dermot Flanagan (Mayo)

5 . Tom Kelly (Laois) Niall Buckley (Kildare)
6 . Glen Ryan (Kildare) James Nallen ( Mayo)
7 . Anthony Rainbow (Kildare) TJ Kilgallon (Mayo)

8 . Eamon O'Hara (Sligo) Kevin O' Brien (Wicklow) Niall Buckley (Kildare)
9 . Dermot Earley (Kildare) John Newton(Roscommon)

10. Willie Joe Padden (Mayo) Johnny Doyle (Kildare) James Horan (Mayo)
11. Val Daly (Galway) Liam McHale (Mayo)
12. Paul Barden (Longford) Ciaran McDonald (Mayo)

13. Mattie Forde (Wexford) Brendan Devanny (Donegal)
14. Michael Meehan (Galway) Benny Coulter (Down)
15. Declan Browne (Tipperarry) Tony McManus (Roscommon)

What did Benny Coulter do on you BB?

Nothing and yes would have him there or there abouts. Meant also to leave out Higgins as its not fair to judge until the end of a career I think.
Jesus, just after realising, Ive left Johnny Doyle & Ciaran McDonald out not to mention Mickey Linden

To be fair you could play the above teams against each other with no clue as to who would win...

Browne / Ford /Owens / Barden / Sheridan & O'Hara prob deserve more credit given the supporting cast they would have had

The man in front will always be mickey linden. And he will always have two senior all ireland football medals, barring miracles.

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

Doubt it. Jack Ferriter captain of the 94 minor AI champs was a decent plAyer and didn't make it according to my mates in Dingle.

i remember that lad destroyed a Galway team containing Joyce, Donnellan, Clancy, Divilly and the Meehans in the final.
