I certainly could never have imagined that claiming Maurice Fitz was the greatest of all time would have stimulated debate, mainly because it is beyond doubt.
I think it was Shaquille O Neal who once said after seeing Maurice in action in a South Kerry First Round match in Sneem
Take this down. My name is Shaquille O’Neal, and Maurice Fitz is the motherfuckin truth. Quote me on that, and don’t take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn’t know he could play like this. Maurice Fitz is the truth.
You’ve gone down four notches in my estimation pal. I’d imagine both you and Nembo don’t really remember Fitz before 1997 and are judging him on after when that luddite O’Sé didn’t know what to do with him.
I’m going to have to pull you up there, he’s actually from Greencastle, which makes the admission even more powerful. Shaq knows a baller when he sees one.
