I would pay too much heed to it Bon. These teams of the year, decade, whatever always divide opinion.

Willie O Connor, John Troy to name a few...

Surely it should be a team of the 90's made up of players that never won an all Ireland?

All these players have won all Ireland's and will have this day out with their teams that won Liam already or in the near future.

Liam Dunne or either corner backs all day long, he was consistently quality.

It's easy to notice people missing from these teams. It's a lot harder to find the lad who'd need to be dropped to make space for them.
I would have O'Connor instead of Hanamy, but I'm sure some would argue the opposite.

Was this the team of the 1990's that was picked at the end of the 1990's? I seem to remember Gary Kirby being omitted from that team, much to the chagrin on some. Wasn't John Fitzgibbon also on that team (and Johnny Pilkington, if memory serves)? I know its only a ceremonial team and people can change their minds but shouldn't one team be picked (like the one picked at the end of the 90's) and stuck to?

Re posters saying Hanamy shouldn't be on the team if favour of others, I honestly can't think of a best man-marking corner back in all the time I've watched hurling. I'd have him in my team of all time, not just the 90's. Just my opinion, obviously.
