Pick an All Greats team of the best players you have ever seen in PERSON

[Declan]

We're fairly close there Declan,

Indeed- Just the county bias!!!!

O'Rourke, Linden, Hanahoe would be my first 3 subs   

[Estimator]

1. John O'Leary

2. K McKeever
3. D Fay
4. T Scullion

5. K McGeeney
6. H Downey
7. Martin O'Connell

8. A Tohill
9. J McDermott

10. T Giles
11. M Donnellan
12. J Fallon

13. M Linden
14. P Canavan
15. M Fitzgerald

[AZOffaly]

I didn't see much of Tony Hanahoe 'live'. My subs would include Colm O'Rourke, Liam Harnan, Brian Mullins, Mickey Linden, Greg Blaney and Bernard Flynn.

(Jaysus I have some time for them Meath feckers)

Jaysus, I completely forgot about Seamus Moynihan. He'd be very close as well, although I don't think he'd dislodge my half backs or full back.

[tieroan]

Spethinite, no Peter Canavan?! Is everyone else wrong. I know it is all about opinions but come on man.

[Minder]

1 Brian McAlinden
2 Kieran McKeever
3 Francie Bellew
4 Tony Scullion
5 T O Se
6 Geezer
7 The Pony
8 A Tohill
9 B Magilligan
10 M Fitzgerald
11 G Blaney
12 Oisin
13 M Linden
14 P Canavan
15 The Gooch

You must not have seen too many greats in action if you have "The Gambler" on your team

[Sean3]

1 John O'Leary
2. Robbie O'Malley
3. John O'Keefe
4. Tony Scullion
5. Paul Curran
6. Seamus Moynihan
7. Martin O'Connell
8. Jack O'Shea
9. Brian Mullins
10. Maurice Fitz
11. Matt Connor
12. Pat Spillane
13. Colm Cooper
14. Peter Canavan
15. John Egan

Might have to put the Bomber into that full forward line at half time to liven things up a bit

[AZOffaly]

Feck sake. John Egan as well.

Maybe we should pick a 'Favourite Provinicial teams' to contest a savage Railway Cup

Jaysus AZ, are you trying to start a civil war or what?

[AZOffaly]

There's too many great players I've been lucky enough to see. And this list is by nature excluding some very good players with counties who haven't won much. My Leinster team would probably include Kevin O'Brien from Wicklow and Dessie Barry from Longford as well.

[mouview]

In this thread so far, the mind boggles at the inclusion of Trevor Giles and cannot even comprehend the exclusion of Padraig Joyce, arguably the best forward ever to come out of Connacht.  Astonishing!!

Ye can't beleive no one has picked joyce yet one of the best , will do up a team later on when i have more time

That's like saying he's the tallest pygmy

Ah I jest. I considered Joyce, but I considered him as a full forward, and I couldn't see him being better than Maurice, Gooch or Canavan. Nor Linden to be honest.
Michael Donnellan has a case for half forward, but again, Pat Spillane, Matt Connor and Graham Geraghty are better in my opinion.

There's too many good players, and I've watched too many of them, to make this an easy task.

The tallest pygmy? From a province that has produced Dermot Earley, Packie McGarty, Tom Langan, Micky Kearns, Frank Stockwell, Mattie McDonagh, Michael Donnellan and the peerless Purcell.... ah well.. !!

[AZOffaly]

I said I jest A lot of the names you mentioned there would have been before my time of remembering them, lads like the Terrible twins would only be stories like Ring and Mackey to me. I remember Dermot Early alright, but you didn't mention Val Daly, and I always thought he was a great player.
