Retiring GAA Stars tribute thread - May cause brain/neck damage

I’m not sure whether or not he has a medal from 1980. I’d be inclined to think that he probably did get one. They were a lot tighter with who got medals back then though and he obviously wasn’t part of the match day 21 for the final.

Jayses, an awful shame if he didn’t get one

He got a medal alright, which was unusual enough back then for a lad not in the final selection.

Mick Jacob too I’d imagine?

Mick Jacob was one of the 6 subs for the 1968 final so he has a medal, even though he didn’t see action.

He was centre back on the three losing teams in the 1970’s finals.

No may about it.

David Collins (2005, 2012, 2015) would be another 0-3 man. Or a 0-3-1 man.

You have a way of capturing the reality of things. Could @malarkey not find you a gig?

Colm Boyle was a great man for a backspin slice point against Dublin. He was able to get a fade on the ball, a bit like Mayo were always good for a fade against Dublin.

He was highly overrated as a defender.

Good footballer alright.

Ciaran Murphy is a terrible journalist.

Who is the last decent footballer Galway got from the border area? You have to go back to the Donnellans I reckon. Nothing from Williamston, Glenamaddy, Milltown, Caherlistrane, Headford or Clonbur at all, and just the keeper from Dunmore. Mayo seem to have had plenty from their side in comparison.

Would Shane Walsh not qualify?
