Totally hypothetical and stealing with pride from a recent Second Captains podcast (cc. @Cheasty), what GGA players would make it as a full-time soccer player if they weren’t playing Gah? The chaps on SC were rattling off footballers, saying David Clifford actually played centre half at some stage but they saw him as a striker and they mentioned a rake off the Dublin team but I wouldn’t know them. What I do know is that back in the day I played soccer/football with Peter Barry with SKC and he was, hands down, the best player I shared a pitch with. He played centre half but he had everything, a class act.
Who in your opinion could make it in full-time football and what position. Remember is can be done!
None . If they were good enough to make it they would have … the problem is some gaa player has a kick around with a bunch of muldoons and because he stands out they reckon he’d have made it as professional footballer …
That would be my take on it too. If they were good enough at it and it came down to that or GAA you’d imagine they have jumped at the chance to go professional at football.
