It doesn’t necessarily have to be a definitive list, although I’d still put all six of my choices ahead of him.

tipptops · February 18, 2010, 5:00pm

The Puke and Rocko were unlucky not to make the list. MBB could have been a contender.

NCC had that, er, recent blip.

WITJ not considered due to recent inactivity.

WUMers need to be weeded out.

I had Seamus Quinn as my number 1 so I suppose county allegiances does p;lay apart.

I’d have Thierry Henry’s handball in that game against Ireland a few months ago. Still can’t believe the goal was given!

Rocko · February 18, 2010, 5:34pm

Actually forgot about that. In fairness to the referee I blame the linesman more on that one, but I suppose the same applies to Wim Kieft’s goal.

Gaelic Footballs Top 6 Hardmen(Real Hardmen now, not your Paul Galvins or Colm Coyles, who are/were knackers)
Mental toughness as well as being able to give and take a belt and get on with it is my criteria here.

Steven O’ Brien (Cork)
Colm O’ Rourke (Meath)
Mick Lyons (Meath)
Daragh O’ Se (Kerry)
Jack O’ Se (Kerry)
Niall Chalane (Cork)

Always had Cahillane as a thug meself, no better than Coyle. Lyons was no 1, O Rourke is a decent call. Late 80s was where it was at.

On Niall, he did get a bit dirty as he got older, but in his prime he was as good as any, nothing like a Coyle who flaked from throw in, there was a reason needed with Cahalane. He got thought a harsh lesson by Pat Spillane back in the day and learned from it.

O’ Rourke for me was a super super player, whatever you thought of him as a guy or whatever, he would play football if thats what you wanted to do, but by fuck he’d belt if you wanted that as well. As corner forwards go he was a rare breed.

Late 80’s is the football i still yearn for. You get a bit of it in very good club football, but not much. A west Cork derby between Clonakilty and Castlehaven now would be good, tough teams, but plenty football as well. IC is way too fast and athletic for it to be anything like the late 80’s.
