Best derry club footballer since 1980!

Anthony Tohill gets my vote! The man was immense for Derry in 93 and the 90's in general, and had he netted after that rampaging run through the Down defence in Celtic Park where Neil Collins tipped it over the bar in 94, another Sam would have been resting in the Sperrins that year!!

Thank God Collins got a hand to it!!

i take it that comment was tongue in cheek

Dermor mcNicholl was the best down player I ever seen, closely followed by Downey and Tohill. Tohill was fantastic to watch but Dermott was as good as i have ever seen on his day, up there with Corvan and that wee bastid from tyrone.

[Frankie Boy]

V good question. Went for McKeever. Great wee player.

[Logan]

I don't know how anyone could vote for Brolly up there with those other names ...
