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

From Delvin. Ex captain for a while. Nice lad, but an awful hoor to play against

Ha, I was thinking it might be him. Think he is actually from Turin though, not Delvin. No football club in Turin who he hurled with, so played for Delvin, and then a coupla other clubs!

I thought it was the other way around? Hurled with Turin because there was no hurling in Delvin? You could be right though. Went on to Loman's as well for a while.

Since mid ninties i'd have.....
1 Fergal Byron
2 Marc O'Se
3 Fay
4 Joe Higgins
5 Tomas O'Se
6 McGeeney
7 Moynihan
8 Dara 'O'Se
9 Cormac McAnallan
10 Donnallen
11 Brian McGuigan
12 Canavan
13 Cooper
14 Declan Browne
15 Maurice Fitz
Some players out of posiition but you catch my drift.Byron in goals probably talking point but still he was was consistant keeper around over this period imo.
Maurice Fitz best forward i've seen, McAnallen probably most adaptable( to the highest level) player i've seen.

No Anthony Tohill No Brolly ? No Paddy Bradley ?

[glenullinabu]

maybe should have darren fay in full back
we had a real clinker of a full back in gabriel bradley in mid 80's - derry stalwart for years from mid 70's
derry would have won 1985 final had he not told mickey moran he couldnt pick ... a few years beforehand (he was a wise man!) & nleft the panel
i think body fat was scared of him!!!

...............................Stephen Cluxton..................................

damian mccusker was much better

[thewobbler]

Couldn't have that Glenullin Abu. Maybe if you want to win an Cic Fada, but that apart, Cluxton is a better keeper.
