In the modern era - Conor Gormley, ask Declan O'Sullivan 2005 or Alan Brogan any time Tyrone/Dublin meet. In the past Tony Scullion from Derry - however good you think Canavan was this Derry boy could always get the better of him. The vote goes to Tony Scullion one hard player

Conor Gormley?

Anyone ever see Ger Henderson hurl? Or even Corcoran for that matter. Or Downey, McGeeney, ach, there are loads of them.

If we are talking about someone capable of knocking the bejasus out of them all, there is only one.

Big Junior Fitzy.

Ask the Daily Mirror.
