Hafta agree with dammon, cork strikers deserve no respect.

Can't believe people are still crying about this 12 months on. Mustn't be much happening in yer own counties.

Daragh or Maurice Fitz for me in football, John Troy in hurling.

How about the fella that barely got a game,and spent most of his underage football years on the bench.Now he is helping out at training sessions for the underage footballers at his local club.He is 27 now and occassionally gets a run out with the reserves.He picks people up and drops them of before and after matches and barely gets the price of the petrol to do it.This fella and a few others no doubt are on my list for sure.

Yeah miketyson you are quite right there, that incredible point against Clare was the mark of a true leader, Carey was a terrific hurler and any county in Ireland would have been thrilled to have him.

From a Galway point of view it has to be Joe Canning and Mikey Meehan - 2 gentlemen on and off the field who make so much time for their fans and help to train kids in their spare time.
