Top 5 players of all time from your county

[An Watcher]

Honestly boys I think I would have Conor Gormley right at the top of the list, never mind top 5

[Newbridge Exile]

Peter Canavan
Frank McGuigan
Sean Cavanagh
Iggy Jones

Last one is a tough one, possibly one of Stephen O'Neill, Eugene McKenna, Brian Dooher, Conor Gormley or Phillip Jordan.

Eugene McKenna would get my vote

[Newbridge Exile]

Anthony Tohill
Sean O'Connell
Kieran Mckeever
Jim Mckeever
Fergal Doherty

Fergal was a great player to have him ahead of Tony Scullion ? My five from players I have seen play

Anthony Tohill
Tony Scullion
SM Lockhart
Kieran McKeever
Henry Downey

Honourable mentions to Fergal Doc, Paddy Bradley, Enda Muldoon Enda Gormley amongst others

Tough tough call Hoof  but Scullion definitely would stay in, McKeeever or Sean Marty it would be a toss up,

[Snapchap]

I'd you're a Tyrone man and your list doesn't have Frank Donnelly's name on it, you need to go an have a word with yourself.

[ONeill]

Any footage?

[Main Street]

Eugene "Nudie" Hughes
Conor McManus
Ciaran Murray
Ray McCarron
Rory Beggan

Always thought Paul Finlay would have been held in high regard by the monaghan faithful

Indeed and his father Kieran as well.

In my opinion, Mckeever was better than scullion. Both were way ahead of SML (great player in his own right though)

[The Subbie]

Eugene "Nudie" Hughes
Conor McManus
Ciaran Murray
Ray McCarron
Rory Beggan

Always thought Paul Finlay would have been held in high regard by the monaghan faithful

Peak of his powers Peter Duffy would be another contender + Gary McQuaid
Indeed and his father Kieran as well.

Excellent post. I think big Damien is certainly worthy of at least a mention as keeper. And I would add Mickey Lynch to your honorary members.

But getting back to the original post, I think it's impossible to name five. Tohill and Jim mckeever are the only two certs. Sean O'Connell merits a mention for longevity and being the only Derry man with four ulster senior medals. Henry as captain in 93 also. But couldn't narrow it down to five.
