I think this may explain any controversial inclusions or omissions. No harm to Michel, and his lilting voice is emotive in radio commentary and stuff, but the cunt doesn’t have a clue what’s going on most of the time. A GAA expert in The Star? Eh, no.
paul curran was the most gifted footballer i ever played against… he was some man to solo a ball at speed…tompkins had some strike of a ball…Giles had vision…
but Maurice fitz stands out above them all for me…he was fookin magic…had everything except the speed which made his footballing ability all the more noticeable…
I don’t like the cunt as i think he’s sneaky but Shefflin is the best hurler i’ve ever seen…
Some unbelievable stuff here, as in players missed, Tomas O’ Se is the most shocking, what does the man actually have to do?
I’m going for a top 3 in both, in no particular order, its very hard to pick one out. Below are all super players though.
There’s a difference between a full back and a hurler.Full backs aren’t hurlers,they’re stoppers. While Lohan was an excellent full back there is no way on God’s earth he was the best hurler of the last 25 years.
