Bravest footballer

[Crossban]

Toal, McGeeney and Bellew in that order in armagh

[full back]

In Tyrone football,  Gormley and Dooher have been the bravest over the last 10 years. 

Difficult to add him because he dives so much and goes to ground too easily. Dont get me wrong he is strong in the tackle & brave winning break ball etc, but the fact that he drops like a fly if tackled when on the ball goes against him IMHO

Ditto with Dooher!

Brian Roper for me is a hardy wee bastard.  As someone else said a big man should be in there anyway, a small man who goes in with the animals is brave!

[realredhandfan]

Without a shadow of a doubt Dooher is the bravest footballer mentioned on this thread so far anyway.  And also the most important being a double all ireland winner.  Probably the bravest and most important so far then.. Any new ones?

There you go then... knowledge inadequecies on your part is the problem. Toal is the bravest, hardiest fcuker i'e ever seen in an armagh jersey. if e're talking about dirty ropey ball bouncing around amongst the boots then toal will come up with it.

Im confused, enlighten me as to where my lack of knowledge is. Your basically basing that on your opinion of Toal, im wrong because in your opinion "Toal is the bravest, hardiest fcuker i'e ever seen in an armagh jersey. if e're talking about dirty ropey ball bouncing around amongst the boots then toal will come up with it"

As a Down man,Brick ,I have to disagree ,Toal is a brave man-especially with a bottle of water in his hand ,and a luminous "uisce" bib on his back!

Seriously,my vote goes to Wee James,and also Peter Canavan---too lads small in stature but unsurpassed in terms of bravery!

[downredblack]

Yeah  Peter was a hardy wee fcuker , remember him swinging at thon big Aussie a few years back at croke park .

Hardy doesn't equate to brave, either does persistent diving.

[realredhandfan]

Canavan was up there with the very best but theres so many Armagh ones on here, ye darent say too much.. hurts their feelings.  Wee james got stuck in too.  Tony scullion, and Liam harnan - true hard bastards of Gaelic Football.   
On another note In the bar last night an anti Armagh question was asked.  If Football began in 1999 when will it actually end?

He's that brave he'd even hit ya in the balls.

[realredhandfan]

Aye Nicholas wash and his dirty fingernails are as brave as they come.

He's a hard man to keep down alright. <insert Martin O'Connell reference here>

Páide Ó Sé mightn't have been that big but was very tough and brave. Going by your criteria for importance, seeing that Páide was an 8 times All-Ireland winner that makes him 4 times as important as Dooher.
