Greatest Antrim Footballer

[milltown row]

great player and was playing only a few years back for their seconds

the teams from the 50's and the earlier teams  were the ones that really made the difference for Antrim.

antrim have won ten Ulster titles. ten more than Fermanagh 5 more than donegal and 3 more than Derry and one less than Tyrone. great players from those winning teams should be applauded. while not taking away from current or recent past players. they don't come close to those players that actually won things

Ulster Senior Football Championship: (10)
1900, 1901, 1908, 1909, 1910, 1911, 1912, 1913, 1946, 1951 thats a great team

Antrim had many great players over the years,Kevin Armstrong, Paddy OHara, Sean Gibson,from many years back,then players like Alex McQuillan.Andy McCallion.Mickey Darragh,John Burns,and more resent Kevin Madden and Sean Kelly to name a few,on the subject of St.Endas,you had Eamon Prenter,Danny Burns was in the All-Ireland winning u-21 team of 69[who knows what that team might have achieved if it was not for the onset of the troubles,and the best player imo to play for St.Endas John Burns represnted the county and Ulster over many years while playing 3 div football,also as a 19 year old got rave reviews for his marking of the great Sean O Neill when Antrim played Down.

Anyone who mentions Eamon Prenter as a great footballer is not to be taken seriously.

Good lad, dedicated to Antrim football, yes. A good footballer, no.

Mickey Darragh, Andy McCallion, Eamon Prenter.......all great footballers.

do you not think he was even a good footballer Sam

Would Stevie Mulvenna be the only Antrim player with an All Ireland Senior medal?  ;)Wasn't he on the Derry panel when they won Sam? Prenter was a great player, and so was Paul McErlean and the Donnelly's...Fergie and Aiden, not forgetting Donagh Finnegan.

basketballers..as was Sean McGourty and as is current county player James Loughrey

No, I don't. He does an immense amount of work behind the scenes, but I was never impressed with him on the pitch. His name wouldn't even enter the radar if I was picking a best Antrim team from the last 25 years, never mind the best Antrim player ever.

I wasnt talking about him in that bracket either I was talking about the St.Endas players who played for the county,sorry for the misunderstanding,but I did think he was a good player.

[saffron sam2]

Fair enough. Good enough for St. Enda's, but not a good inter-coutny player.

An unfortunate turn of phrase for a Tyronie to introduce into the thread.
