Laochra Gael TG4 (New Series)

[Wildweasel74]

Against Dungiven that day, was the best game i had seen him play Swatragh. Dont think he missed a free all day, the stand out of the day though was McGilligan shouldering McCullough into the sperrins halfway through the game. Great shoulder between 2 big men.

Tohill was the best player never mind midfielder) i've ever seen. An absolute colossus.

What a fielder of a ball. Awesome.

There was an aura about him that he was super-human. Was lucky enough to watch him many times in the flesh, never saw him have a bad game

Just watched the Anthony Tohill show. What a magnificent player he was. He had everything. They don't make them like him anymore.

Damian Fitzhenry's show just finished, what a keeper, 20 years he stood in goal for Wexford and I don't think he had a bad match, 4 times a better keeper than the other Fitz

A personal hero of mine.He kept that poor Wexford team in so many matches throughout the years.

[Champion The Wonder Horse]

Open to correction here but iirc Derry C'ship semi final in 93 Tohill scored 11 pts when Swatragh beat Dungiven 12 - 11, He was some player in his pomp. Ironically tho i also thought the only player i ever saw get the better of him was Cormac McAnnalen. Although he was prob in the latter stages of his career then.

It was the quarter-final and he scored 0-11 out of 0-14 (Surs got 1-10); he played full-forward that day. We beat the Watties in the semi-final; he got 1-7 out of 1-11. He got 2-8 out of 2-9 against Bellaghy in the league the same year.

A bit underwhelming. Did he ever get all the scores?

He might have got the lot for us when Bellaghy beat us 2-15 to 0-1 in the 98ish championship semi-final.

Great show. Great player and a great goal-scorer as well as keeper!

[This Years Model]

Repeated this Sunday, 17.55. Must record it.

[Wildweasel74]

watching Seamus Moynihan there, best defender i seen in my time edging out Tomas O`Se, Stephen O`Brien and Paul Curran. Probably should have won more in all honestly. kerry in the 2 O`Se and Moynihan have probably produced 3 players who be on the best team of the past 30yrs.

[Wildweasel74]

And another thing, he didnt have to mouth off to the opposition even when he was well on top of them, its a pity the players of the day wouldn't learned a thing or 2 from him, he let his football do the talking.

Moynihan is a legend among legends.

[ONeill]

He didn't like the manufactured footballers.

The pony was a strong one alright. i loved his ability to read the play like say gavin dvlin. in 200 he gave Pauric Joyce some trimming.  I went from outright admiration to almost feeling sorry for him when he wasn't fine.  He really got some fierce roastings in his later years. It was cruelty. One of my favourites.
