Paul Galvin- Kerry Captain

[magickingdom]

Does he still have the class he had ? Jesus but he was as good as I EVER seen - a class act !

he will always be a class act!

[orangeman]

It's a shame we never got to see more of him ! What about that day in Croke Park against Armagh in 2001

[Pangurban]

Dont expect Galvin to dignify the position, reasonable footballer he may be, sportsman he is not

It's a shame we never got to see more of him ! What about that day in Croke Park against Armagh in 2001

The 2000 semi final replay against Armagh. Soloed the ball with the right foot, drop kicked with the left into the railway goal.

That point against Dublin in Thurles with Tommy Carr whispering in his ear.

His 1997 final against Mayo.

Getting 10 points against Cork in the 1992 Munster Championship.

Etc. Etc. Etc.

1997 will never be erased from my memory - left foot free kick at Hogan stand side - left foot - out near the sideline - outrageous ! Pure brilliance - and then to top it all - the sideline kick over the bar from about 70 yards !

Ye ye ye, undoubtedly a class apart.......but in fairness he was being 'marked' that day by Pat Holmes and the only time he touched him was at the full time whistle to congratulate him. And don't give me the he couldn't get near him to touch him story, Holmes played like an adoring fan that day.

As if there wasn't reason enough to hope Kerry lose next year, the thought of that **** lifting Sam caps it off. The contrast between him and Maurice Fitz is huge, a true legend and a class act, unfortunately for him most of his Kerry playing days were in the 'famine' period.

Not even a patch of the sportman that fitzgerald was, not too fond of him.He is perfect though to combat the rougher teams from the north and the dubs so I suppose he has his uses.

[A Quinn Martin Production]

Galvin leads with his right!

[magpie seanie]

I actually think Galvin will do well as Kerry captain. It could be the crowning of him. People speaking negatively of him should also remember for all he dishes out he takes a fair bit of it himself - both on and off the field.

[IolarCoisCuain]

You said it Seánie. Paul Galvin would stroll onto any county team in the country, and there isn't one of us that wouldn't be glad to have him. Best of luck to him in his captaincy. I'll even feel for him when Mayo bate them at last.
