Paddy O'Rourke has, as far as I know, a winner's medal from every Championship he ever played him. There was a photo of him in the Newry Reporter some years ago with his haul and it really was something worth seeing.

The closest to him around these parts would be Brendan McGovern, who was by Paddy's side for everything bar the big one in 1991.

Burren had three All-Ireland minors in 1987 - Larry Duggan, Tom Fegan and Ronan Fitzpatrick, who all won Hogans with St Colman's, but of the trio I think only Duggan played senior county football, and then only fleetingly.



Players who might be worth checking up for the full house would be Henry Downey and Michael Donnellan.

Mike Frank's achievements really are something else.

Downey only has All-Ireland Seniors for both club and county, none of the others.

Can't see any Derry man with all five. There's the possibility that a Bellaghy man may have four of the five if he was a boarder at St. Columb's in 1965. Tom Quinn, maybe.

Other than that, plenty with three.

No Antrim men with all five either. One's probably the height.

why does it have to be a Hogan cup medal. Some players dont make it to grammar school but still get All Ireland medals
Owen Mulligan - minor, under 21, senior, all ireland medals at under 18 level with Holy Trinity Cookstown and Tyrone vocational schools. Two more games and he could have an all ireland club medal (intermediate)

what's a grammar school? Is it different to any other post primary school/tech?
