I definitly think Alan Kerins of Galway deserves a mention. And to the guy who said a county like Longford may have had the equivalent but never got to shine in hurling- I'm afraid not! Our best hurlers, never really excelled at Football.

Nobody's mentioned the only player ever to win an All Ireland in both codes in the same year. Not that that is enough to mean he would be a great, like Patrique explained. But still, this man was a great hurler and a great footballer on merit alone. A mighty mighty midfielder I have to say and possibly the best jumper ever in recent times.

Any guesses? He destroyed Kerry on numerous occassions.

greh blaney would have to get a mention, prob the best of all time? A great footballer, played for the football under 21 champions in 79 against Cork. When on to win senior all irelans with Down and played for Down hurlers in 92 against Cork in all ireland semi, a serious talent?

You got it brendt. Standing 5'10" he was one hell of a fielder. And a battler supreme.

From Galway I'd say the best has been Alan Keirns.

TKC - Teddy Mac, two AI's within a fortnight, must be the best alright. Thomas O'Leary (rugby player) was also very good at both but hard to judge as he switched sport before he could play senior. Actually I have seen Diarmuid O'Sullivan play football recently with cloyne and he is a very tidy player, nowhere near the best dual player but worth the mention I feel. Shane Ryan and Conal Keaney also well up there if we are mentioning Lucey.
