Could have one of the best wing backs ever if he didn’t have to bail kilkenny out at full back imo.
This thread is already wrecked because a few morons can’t read the topic and answer if
Stephen Cluxton
fuck off, Timmy Kelleher would have made shit of him , tipp posters will verify
Timmy is your man then:clap:, bit of a Cork bias but Denis Walsh was very good at cleaning corner forwards as was Sherlock, John Browne, jim Cashman and Denis Mulcahy
Bit? Shane o neill and brian murphy are better than browne and sherlock. Corcoran better again.
.
very few clare players been mentioned affirming the belief that hurling is usually at a low ebb when they win cheap all irelands
Its not a belief, Its fact
[quote=“Mark Renton, post: 858001, member: 1796”]Mullane or Eoin Kelly broke my heart enough times over the years and would be up there. Kelly beat us on his own one year, maybe 06, after we went 2-4 or something like that up, the cunt scored 16 or 17 points.
Ken McGrath was a joy to watch as well.
I’d probably go with Clem Smith tho.[/quote]
Ciarán Carey is the greatest.
Ollie Canning is another of my favourites and one of the all time greats. Ken McGrath was like Carey, electric, able to dictate the entire game. As Barry Foley said about Carey, once he made up his mind to do something on the field, he did it. Have to give a nod to Tony Browne too, fantastic hurler in his prime and we’ll never see a player last as long as him again.

Doesn’t matter what type o player he was, this is about a persons favorite player. Corcoran, Teddy Mac, John Fenton, Pat Hartnett, Jogn Fitz, Jim Cash, Cathal Casey, Barry Egan, Duirmuid Sully and Joe Deanery were all my favorite players. They were not always the most talented, but I just loved watched them for many different reasons. Horgan, Kearney and Harnedy are the same now.
If I had to go for someone it would be John Fitzgibbon. The laid back style, the celebration, the importance of his goals, Schillaci, what a nickname. Perfect.[/quote]
I was thinking about something JBM said after the drawn all ireland final.Cork teams always get goals when they need them and if you look back through the history of Cork hurling then you realise that that statement by JBM was bang on.Donal Og, Sully, Wayne Sherlock, Fergal McCormack, Seanie McGrath, Neil Ronan, John Gardiner, Ronan Curran, Sean Og, Tom Kenny, Ben and Jerry O’Connor and Niall and Timmy McCarthy were other players i enjoyed watching.Anthony Nash, Shane O’Neill, Daniel Kearney, Seamie Harnedy,Hoggie and Conor Lehane would be my favourite present day players.John Gardiners performance against Clare in the 2005 all ireland semi final was one of the greatest individual displays that i have ever seen.
Anyone that thinks Pat Hartnett wasn’t a great player knows nothing hurling.Pat was one tough bit of stuff!Pat played in the 1986 all ireland final with a dodgy shoulder.Galways Brendan Lynskey tried to test it out but Pat saw it coming and he was ready for him.
Johnny Dooley, Ciaran Carey, Iron Mike Houlihan, Mike Galligan, Gary Kirby, Stephen Lucey, Damien Reale, Donie Ryan, Stephen McDonagh, John Mullane, Ken McGrath, Tony Browne, Stephen Molumphy, Brick Walsh and Kevin Moran would be my favourite non Cork players.
