I think his name is actually Jimmy Barry Murphy and he played number 10 for Limerick against us in the league a few weeks ago.

Can any of the Limerick lads confirm?

Louth are quite a small team and this guy looked even smaller. Fermanagh, like us, also a quite a few small lads.

Stephen Gollogly would be one of the smallest, but tough as they come! But the smallest I've seen has to be Kevin "Wappa" McMenamin from Donegal.

Cian Mackey from Cavan is about 5 foot 4 inches. You'd struggle to find a footballer smaller than him.

The smallest player to play in Croke Park at Senior level in recent years must be Trevor Phelan from Offaly. Started against Kildare I think and scored the final score against Wexford if memory serves.

real louth fan, ya, you're right about jimmy barry murphy. he's fairly small in height and very light also but speedy.

Sorry to go off the subject but I remember Flood, and was quite impressed with him, but City got shut of him.

What happened to him, where is he now?

Youl be glad to hear Patrique, that he has made a comeback and made his debut for Celtic in the old firm derby last weekend. Played quite well!

Thank you Spud.

Someone posted McCullagh. I have said many times that Antrim have countless forwards like him, however none of them are as big as him.
