Brian Sheenan without a doubt, he's pretty terrible with the rest of his play though.
Bit like Stephen Conway for Tyrone back in the late 80s, he never missed a free but you couldn't give him the ball in open play he was a disaster, I actually think he may have been the best free taker ever anyone remember him?

think we have a new free-taker with alot of bottle in Darroch Mulhall. this kildare minor scored a 45 and a free from de sideline at the 21 with 20 seconds remaining with a full Hill16 shouting at him in the leinster minor final.. i would've $hit myself taking it! fair play to him.. anybody see the match?
