Limerick hurlers in mid 90s. Briliant team but despeartely unlucky. TJ Ryan, Ciaran Carey, Mark Foley, Gary Kirby, Damien Quigley etc... I would think few would disagree.

Vinny Claffey + Liam McHale + Declan Browne

Benny Coulter + Barry Owens + Marty McGrath + Freeman + Paddy Bradley

Jim McGuiness also I dont think he was in the 92 team but i could be wrong im sure someone will jump down my throat to correct me if i am.

North Side Gael (None) - Posts: 1076 - 27/06/2008 13:24:08    39158

Nearly sure McGuinness was on the 92 panel. Not 100% sure though.

NSG

he was on the panel, dont think he kicked a ball that year, was very young

Not a kerry man on it, they must all have an all Irelnd medal at this stage..

NWMeath (Meath) - Posts: 80 - 27/06/2008 14:25:03    39223

Would definately have Canty (cork) and Brown (Tipp) in there somewhere!!!

Gerrard Houlihan (Armagh)

Barry owens (fermanagh)

Sure there's hundreds of these lads. Most players dont have an allireland medal

We could certainly include the current dublin panel. Never have won an all ireland and never will

NWMeath. Well Connie Murphy and Karl O'Dwyer are the only two Kerrymen that won all Stars but did not win an All Ireland senior medal.

surely frank mcguigans 11pts from play in 1984 ulster final must make him worhty of a mention - iggy jones up there as well mckenna, donaghy, mccabe and lynch all worthy of a mention

sean marty lockhart liam mchale and anthony rainbow are some from outside my own county who deserve a mention

still shocked nobody had mcguigan in there!

Sorry to contradict you whiter... Jason Sherlock has an All Ireland medal from 1995.
If you were to include All Ireland medals in age groups also then quite a few of the current crop have All Ireland Under 21 medals - Barry Cahill, Alan Brogan, Bryan Cullen and possibly 1 or 2 more. Then there's the lads who have won an All Ireland club medal with St Vincents this year.

Also you could add Trevor Smullen and Padraig Davis from Longford onto that list.
