Any interest in a greatest 1-15 of all time made up of players who never won a provincial title. I’m thinking stephen lucey, John galvin and gary Brennan.
Declan Browne, Mattie Forde and Kevin O’Brien would be in the mix in the forward line anyway.
- Brendan McVeigh
- Darren O’Hagan
- Barry Owens
- Kevin McCloy
- Kevin McKernan
- Chrissy McKaigue
- Sean Leo McGoldrick
- Martin McGrath
- Gearoid McKiernan
- Benny Coulter
- Rory Gallagher
- Danny Hughes
- Jamie Clarke
- Paddy Bradley
- Adrian Sweeney
Yet couldn’t make the team of the millennium.
Nonsense alright.
Tommy Murphy should be joint number 1 beside Jacko
Brehent was very defensive there in the Indo this morning. Borderline cuntish.
@anon67715551 you take the 50s.
My old man reckoned philly grimes was one the best hurlers he ever saw…

An earlier incarnation of the 1989 semi final. Galway starting a row they couldn’t finish.
A mini-peek at the 1957 football final shows Paddy Harrington (father of Pawdrig) scoring a fine point. The only decent overhead catch of the day that I remember was made by the same Paddy although not shown on the reel.
More to follow.
I only found out today that the great John Joe Reilly died from a football related incident. I knew he died young but didn’t realise what happened.
I wonder if it was similar to Philly McGuinness?
Good players may come and good players may go.
But we’ll ne’er have another like the gallant John Joe
