Who do you fine fellows think is the cream of the crop at both codes in the best province in Ireland? my opinion is yer man Micky Magill formerly of tir na nog now in exile in london.

I suspect that (potentially) the best dual player is CJ McGourty - but we might never get to find out. Mickey Magill has been impressive in both codes but currently is a London player (as far as anyone can tell).

Paul McCormack for Armagh is a dual player. But I think he has gone to Hurling.

C.J. McGourty, Kevin McGourty, Ciaran McGourty, Carl Stewart, Gavin Bell, Mickey Magill, Micky and Brendy Herron, Magic Johnson, Chris Hamill, and a fair few from Derry as well, especially anyone called McGoldrick as the da played both codes for Antrim.

The best ever was Kevin Armstrong, and the two best I saw were the "terrible twins" wee Andy and Aidan Hamill. Over the years, Henry Downey was a wonderful hurler, Seamus was better at that game as well, a number of McGurks, Brian McGilliigan and Kieran McKeever, and Greg Blaney for Down.

Yes, big Geoffrey McGonagle is a fair shout.

some definate claims for dual Derry men but Blaney surely got the most medals in his career with Down and Ulster

What have medals got to do with anything?

Ogie Moran has 8 (EIGHT) all Ireland medals. Are you going to tell me that makes him a better footballer than Kevin Armstrong?

THE 8 MEDALS DONT MAKE HIM A BETTER FOOTBALLER THAN MC GOURTY, HE JUST IS A BETTER FOOTBALLER

Now Dhorse, you actually didn't read my post, and then reproduced it, without reading it.

Armstrong, Hall of Fame football and hurling, not McGourty.

And I liked Ogie. In the 8 finals he started at centre half forward they won. When they started him elsewhere, they lost.

Kevin Mc Cloy has an Ulster medal for Derry in Hurling, and an All-star and National League winning Captain in football
