Replying To Doylerwex:  "Paul Morris is a legend. An exceptionally underappreciated forward. His level of consistency from under 14 up to a very good senior career is unparalleled."
Yep. Davy Fitz said Paul Morris was the first name on his teamsheet.

Replying To richiepmurphy:  "Surely time for wexford to move on from mikie dwyer and mcguckian. Both not good enough. Focus on the sean obriens, mooney, roarke,etc"
I'd say they might be the best two on the list above! Granted both got plenty of chances too in fairness. Mac, Dunbar etc not sure worth going back for.

Mikie definitely is if he can get back fully fit.

30 years ago today since we won the All Ireland . As someone who was too young to remember 96 I would give anything to see us climb the steps of the hogan stand and lift Liam McCarthy . Seeing Mayo lift Sam moved me in a way I didn't expect it would can't imagine what it would be like to see us do it!

I do remember 96. I was young but it was quite formative for me. My family suffered a sudden and tragic loss the week of the Galway game. Then we went from that to the euphoria of the all Ireland.

If somebody told me then that we'd wait even longer than the 28 years without even reaching I final I would never have believed it.

97, 01, 03, 04 were all years that felt like we could do something.

I'm still not over 19.......

Great to win an all ireland and will always be up there as one if best days ever and the biggest achievement .
. But to me the best day was the leinster final of the same year where we beat Offaly .
After so many near misses and all the annual trips to croke park and some utter devastating disappointment to finally win one the sheer expression of raw emotions that day of young and old alike . It's hard to put into words to be honest.
But Will always surpass the all irelsnd winning feeling thats hard to fathom but thats just me . .
I d say it was probably the best hurling id seen from a wexford team when it mattered most .
The pitch invasion was something i ll never forget either . The relief of winning the tears the hugs of strangers.
Not everyone at the all ireland was there for Wexford hurling mist of the die hards were tgere for the leinster finsl.
