The biggest mullocker of the last 25 years

@backinatracksuit

Alan Browne was a bit of a mullicker as well, strong as a horse and awkward with it, as a young fella he used to hop solo the ball with lads bouncing off him

Browne could finish though

@gilgamboa

 fact. He was hardly even in mullocker class. He looked 50 years of age too

He looked ancient alright! didn’t come from a big club either I think?

[Big_Dan_Campbell]

Brick would be in the Bonner Maher/Shane O’Donnell category. None of them wristy strikers of a ball but all are/were full of nous and had excellent first touches and an ability to take a ball at pace that a mullocker wouldnt. All are very skilful in their own right just not out and out stickmen

Valley Rovers (Inishannon)

@Ashman

Fergal McCormack of Cork was effective

Mullocker alright but effective in 1999

I think he is a nephew of Mick O’Connell Kerry who most certainly wasn’t a mullocker

Damien Hayes is a bit of a bolox

[Ashman]

I never saw Mick o Connell hurl

@Special_Olympiakos

Redser had serious skill just bad application no way is he a mullocker. Fergal Lynch, seamus pended or Dan McCormack worth a mention. Timmy Mac wins it for me

no way should Redser be listed. He had bags of skill. maybe a free spirit but certainly not a mullocker

there are mullocker types in football too, O’Connell wasn’t one

…He had the best nickname I’ve ever heard. They called him the towel.He was usually a sub when that good offaly team were coming to the end of their time. He often be brought in as a sub when theyd be getting bet well in some game. Hence they were throwing in the towel.

That’s a right blast from the past. A player I’d completely forgotten about. Think he generally did well against Wexford, but we were no great shakes in fairness. If I recall correctly he was from a small club even by Offaly standards called Carrig-Riverstown. A mountainy place on the Laois border someone told me back in his playing days. It could be inaccurate, I don’t know. A big mop of wild hair on him.

Is rivers town not the Offaly side of Moneygall

On the back road from Borrisokane to Birr. It’s actually in Tipperary, I think.

[Ashman]

It certainly is in tipp but play in Offaly . The converse of moneygall

[Bandage]

I wouldn’t have a notion (about this and other matters).

[Fat_Pox]

Carrig Riverstown is inside the Tipp border but play in Offaly.

There was a great story about him 10 years ago. He was coaching Killea who are a junior B outfit outside Templemore in a county semi final. He was also still playing for his own club. There was a fixture clash with both so the Killea game was put on early in the day. However it finished a draw and extra time was played. Ger had to dash off for his own match so he issued the rallying calls over a mobile phone call on loudspeaker.

[Special_Olympiakos]

It’s in Tipp , between Borrisokane and Birr.

[Mullach_Ide]

Michael Cussen of Cork was a bit of a mullocker as well.

[Ashman]

More harmless . He was a decent hurler at club level

[Special_Olympiakos]

Great shout apart from the a bit phrase, he was full on mullock machinery
