Wheither Kilkenny win this years All Ireland or not, they will be remembered as the greatest team of all time by a distance. But who do people rank as the best teams they have seen (you must have seen them). My choices are onlyhurling (Galway) - Posts: 800 - 21/08/2010 11:35:57 752013 Link 0 |

The Kilkenny team of 1972-'75 was awesome. Only for Limerick in 1973 they too could have won 4 in a row. Were missing Jim Treacy and Eddie Keher for final; their best forward and a key defender. Does this remind you of anything?!!! MARNELL (Westmeath) - Posts: 728 - 21/08/2010 11:56:29 752027 Link 0 |

the tipp team of the late 1980s early 90s were a great team and should have won about 4 all irelands moddy91 (Tipperary) - Posts: 226 - 21/08/2010 12:13:15 752046 Link 0 |
Hag - I agree with you, but I'd have your 2 and 3 inverted! They each won 2, but when they played each other, Galway came out on top 3 of 4 times and the fourth is extremely controversial. abhainn (Galway) - Posts: 1000 - 21/08/2010 12:34:39 752064 Link 0 |
The Offaly team of the mid to late 90's. They were a pure joy to watch. The level of skill was amazing. From John Troy robbing the sliothar off Brian Corcoran in mid air and scoring a point, to the brilliance of Brian Whelehan. Alas, I might never see days like that again, but the memories will remain forever. Goatsucker (Offaly) - Posts: 265 - 21/08/2010 12:59:17 752085 Link 0 |
I think also the focus should be on all round team... many great teams had great individuals but I think a team should be judged on it's strenght 1 to 15 and even the extended panel... Look at kilkenny there lads on the panel that have all-stars and all-ireland medals and still can't nail down a starting spot on the first team and are by no means past it.
