samin10 - Fay is from Ardboe Paul - who is the current Ballinderry manager - played for the Moortown club.

In mentioning Moortown the Lawn brothers were tough enough nuts on the field.

Henry and seamus downey, the McGurk brothers and Kieran and Emmet Mckeever, some of the hardest siblings ive every seen play the game, there was no quarter asked or no quarter given when these boys played.

Paul & Dermot Early (Roscommon) were hardy men. Liam Harnan could be added to the Lyons connection because he was a first cousin if I'm correctly informed and a seriously tough man as well. Others that spring to mind are the Fitzgerald brothers from Offaly (Mick & Pat) Mick executed a kung fu kick on Ciaran Duff in the '83 Leinster final that Eric Cantona would be envious of!

The McGurk boys from Lavey were animals on the pitch, in a good way!! There always seemed to be millions of them!!!! If Lavey were losing near the end of the game then they just kicked the life out of you, good tactic!!

Would have to say its The Grimleys. Put the fear of god into me when i was a wee lad when i saw them in Clones. One of them was behind me at the Donegal v Armagh game last year.Thank god he wasnt in front of me, i would have seen nothing.

Would have to say Mick & Padraig Lyons were 2 hard nuts in their day, hurling, has to be the Hendersons from Kilkenny.
In Offaly the Flannery's in Banagher dished out some stuff on the hurling fields down the years!
