Fermanagh's in-form full forward Seamus Quigley has been compared to Kerry legend Maurice Fitzgerald.

Peter McGinnity, who was the Erne County's first All Star recipient in 1982 and managed Quigley's club Roslea to back-to-back Fermanagh SFC titles in 2010 and 2011, believes the man who has racked up 1-8 in each of his last two games against Antrim and Queen's is the best striker of a ball he has seen since Fitzgerald.

"He must be the most talented kicker of a ball I've seen since Maurice Fitzgerald," McGinnity said in the Irish Daily Star.

"We see him doing things weekly with Roslea in matches that you just wouldn't believe. There is always the other thing, Seamie has a tendency to put on weight. If he ever reaches a really good fighting weight, he'd be unstoppable. I'd probably go as far as to say he'd be the best footballer in the country.

"He can kick equally as well with either foot. He can win ball, he can bring players into it. He loves to score.

"Having said that, he can become frustrated whenever possession is not coming into him. He is a phenomenal striker of the ball. There are very few people in the country who can kick accurately with the outside of the foot." Tweet
