Leitrim GAA 2020

Wayne

John Mckeown got a goal of the year contender against roscommon back in the early 00’s. @anon67715551 will remember the year

Oh sorry - you’re dead right. Wayne is the best footballer we have produced in years. Absolutely class.

While looking for Mckeowns goal I came across this :grinning:

And this is right underneath it.

Aren’t we lucky not to have these 3 chumps as selectors… They were going well 1-9 (I’d replace Beck with Shane Foley for size and abrasiveness) but the troubles are only beginning.
Philip McGuinness for McLoughlin.
Wayne Mac for Mr. Media at 11.
Mark Plunkett for Jimmy Guckian.
Conor Beirne replaces John McGuinness in the full forward line.

McCloskey and Shane Moran are breathing down Sweeney’s neck.
Pat Gilmartin is a tremendous selection. One less Mohill man as well. :pint:

Can’t believe Philly didn’t get in. Apart from the sentimental element, he fully deserves it.

Sentiment clearly don’t cut it hereabouts. Another more than worthy of mention from the club front is Adrian Croal from Manor. A top forward, that bad belt he got about 2’15 knocked a lot out of him, but he was a good as a couple of those who got the nod.

Typical anti-Manor bias at work again, they’ve only 4 selected…

Padraig McLoughlin was a good club player for me but not for long enough.

Christy Carroll was a mighty bit of stuff.

Christy Carroll’s wife Nollaig is an even mightier bit of stuff…
Christy was top drawer, I was glad to see them win 1.

I didn’t want to bring it up.

Ollie Honeyman looks the same today as he did then except about 35kg heavier.
Mickey Martin was a super forward, worth 5 Mulligan’s. 3 Quinn brothers, Jerome already formulating the Killer stare. I never trusted Ciaran Mahon despite him being a grand lad.

Good days…

Not sure of source of this but these are the top 20 Leitrim players of the last 50 years - apparently.

Michael McGuinness’s absence jumps out straight away. Was Ollie Honeyman better than John McKeon?

Those top 20s by Breheny are utter scutter. He had a few lads in the Tipp one that wouldn’t make a top 100.

FFS.Anyone see anything wrong with this list.

Mulligan should be ahead of Kenny anyway

Hold on, where’s McGarty ???
