Very good....
He should be still well known though considering the Leinster Cup is named after him

Has anyone else any questions? The place is infested with questions about soccer and songs and gayness and more soccer, which is just a form of gayness anyway.

I've a question Hardy - an open question really - How in the name of St Brendan can Kerry claim to be the Kings of Gaelic football with a record like that - 18 defeats??  A complete disgrace - a boxer with the same record would be classed as a bum - Rodel Orais for instance - who?

They have more defeats than the French and Italian Armies combined.

Who else has a record of 18 defeats?  i'll tell you who - Wigan "Athletic"

Kerry - the Wigan of Gaelic football

2) Same question for the Liam McCarthy cup

Okay my memory doesn't go back too far
Declan O'Sullivan in 06 and 07.
Dara O Cinneide 04
John O'Leary 1995
After that I'm in the wilderness. Would Mickey Ned O'Sullivan count in 1975 even though Spillane lifted the cup after Sean Doherty nearly beheaded Mickey Ned?
Oh, and Paidi of course. Don't remember the year - was it 78?
Should have known there'd be a strong Kerry bias in this question!
Is there many more?

[Uladh]

Screenexile - correct  on no. 2.   Down, Limerick, Donegal
Bensars - highest winning score - no
              - highest number of goals - yes, shared with another year
Screenexile - correct on no. 6 - highest winning score shared by Dublin 1997  and Kerry 2006

Dublin didnt win the All Ireland in 1997 Kerry beat Mayo

Mickey Ned would have to count, Paudie was 1984 (or maybe 85)

[the green man]

Paidi was 85

Ambrose O'Donovan was 84

[Louth Exile]

I think Ambrose was 86

[the green man]

I think Ambrose was 86

84

[Ryano]

Anyone name the only man to captain his county in 5 senior All Ireland football final appearances?

[RedandGreenSniper]

The late Jimmy Murray by any chance? Including a replay in 43 or 44 I think
