Colin Corkery

Nah nah, in all seriousness, in football, i'd be inclined to say its between, Brian Dooher, Phillip Jordan or Aaron Kernan, with possibly Marc & Tomas O'Se up there also

In hurling it remains an easy decision, Sean Og tops the list.

Folks,

I think it's pretty well accepted that the majority of top class GAA players and much more fitter than their English FA premiership counterparts. Played both at a pretty high level and believe me playing soccer is a doddle / stroll-in-the park in comparisons to a Hurling or football game.

Lads, Aaron Kernon, O'Se's, Dooher, running is their game. The Gooch justs directs a bit of ball and scores, doesn't need to run all over the place.

But just as fit.

Remember George O'Connor used to be in some show that was on years ago. They used to do the chin-ups etc... what was it called?
But he was probably one of the fittest players back then.

Why is it that hurling teams always seem fitter compared with those who play the footie game?

Has to be Shane Ryan, the man was like a machine in last years Leinster final, Bet us on his own
