Plenty of time to get a few yet. Criminal as you say that he hasnt gotten one yet. At his current rate, I'd argue Kev Mc isnt far off one either.

On a side-note, Another Dublin related thread :D

Love it!! Hon Liamo ye boya!!

Keep em comin' lads, Keep em comin.

Aidan O'Shea maybe?

Cian O'Sull to midfield and James Mc into the half back line.

AOS played well for a bit when DnG were beat and then didn't show up for the final.

James fairly consistent all year ;)

But he does have a few Ireland caps under his belt.

Has he being in the best 3 wing backs in the last few years? No.

Who does he play for?

I doubt he is losing sleep over it! As Mes Amis said, he has real awards. He reminds me of Robbie Kelliher (yes, I know Robbie was corner back) in the way he almost goes through matches without anyone noticing he is there! And yet doing a massive amount of the heavy lifting that is winning games.

James also has two u-21 Dublin Championship medals too.

The guy doesn't even have room in the trophy cabinet at home for an all star!!!
