Replying To Saynothing:  "Yes, a man that would grace any backline. A couple of Donegal men have mentioned the Stephen O Neill shoulder and I'm wondering was that his claim to fame."
Ah it was just a great moment, witnessing it in person was class. McGee was in his prime at the time and it nearly signalled the end of O'Neill in that moment. O'Neill was a wonderful player by the way, a genius. His fame will be 3 All Stars, Sam Maguire and many an Ulster title along the way. A great.

Replying To Wally:  "It appears from some of these posts that Tyrone still live very much rent free in the head of Donegal supporters lol"
Looks more like we are living in your head Wally, you're the one reading and commenting on the Donegal thread.!!

Replying To Tirchonaill1:  "Nothing against Stephen O'Neill but that one incident just sums Neil up for me, teak tough, any forward he marked will have fond memories of him."
True, not many defender's about now that could go man to man, which brother was the toughest? Heard different stories.

Never played against them, hard to know I would have put Neil down as the toughest but there wouldn't be much in it, some hardy boys down that country.
I'd say Eamon would have more of a wee chat with you, other fellas on here probably played with them or against them and would know better than me,
one things for sure we have a much weakened defence without Neil now.
