Without a doubt, no argument about it - MARTIN STOREY (WEXFORD).

Greatest hurler and hurling man in the last two decades.

since the 90s.

Homer will u go way outta that, DJ Carey would only rank in at around 9 or 10.
I can name several forwards greater than him.

As for Whelahan, he'd be around no. 2 or 3 in the greatest backs list, Liam Dunne would be the greatest.

"Glory Glory Glory His Name Is Martin Storey."

- the present day's game of hurling is missing a star like him.

sorry Pinkie I think ur on the incorrect thread. This has nothing to do with doctors or beds.

Please re-post on the correct page.


Kleenex - you either love him or loathe him.
Most people loves him.

While Storey's contribution to Wexford hurling is immaculate, do you really think he is the best hurler in the timeframe you mention?

Slayer I genuinely do and he's as sound as a pound then as well.

He'd be about 4 times as good as Gary Kirby!!

I've no problem with anyone making a statement & then backing it up

But this proves you're a wind up merchant - looked at my county, picked one of our best, then said your player was 4 times better. Classic stuff, you're a gas man or woman :-)

You cant look beyond Henry Shefflin. Tommy Walsh or Eoin Kelly (Tipp) for the best hurler

Geoffrey McGonagle, No questions. The man's a legend,

Good summary OFC... Hard to look past Shefflin. All the players you mentioned were fantastic players, and impossible to pick one!

Martin Storey... the best?... yes a great Wexford player but the best? ! Whelehan was a superb hurler and while Liam Dunne was also a great player, cannot compare the 2! If you had a choice of who you would put on your club team... fro me, Whelahan and Kirby over Storey and Dunne!

For the buzz D. J Carey, for the blood to rise in you, Lohan, for the class, Shefflin and for the heart, Tommy Walsh. But... all great hurlers.

kleenex is correct. Just he got the thread title wrong.

Best Wexford hurler since the 1990s.

Sean McMahon would be my choice, he was the outstanding center back of this time, his catching ability was excellent, he read the game better then any, his contribution on the scoreboard was vital to Clare in tight game's. His greatest asset however was that he was a leader on the field. Though he was not captain, he led that team by example and he was more important to Clare in my opinion then Loughnane in winning the AI's.

sorry lads hate to burst yer bubbles here but please stop with all your suggestions (all ridiculous by the way) but this isn't a discussion on who the best hurler in Ireland is since the 90s coz I never asked yee that question.

This is a Martin Storey Appreciation Thread, where we can all honour and praise the no. icon of mour game since the 90s.

Sadly missed and hurlin is gone back alot since his intercounty retirement.
