Replying To Malonemagic: "Im intrigued about the players with same name to captain all ireland teams same year. Whats the answer ? Which team won a leinster football final scoring everything from play ? Name the last teams to beat these 3 teams in all ireland football quarter finals ( 3 answers ) - kerry , mayo , dublin ." Kerry lost to Donegal in 2012, Mayo lost to Cork in 2011 and wasn't it 2009 that Kerry beat the startled earwigs? petejoeduff (Donegal) - Posts: 329 - 05/07/2016 23:41:06 1877073 Link

Name the 4 non-Kerry men to win 4 All - Ireland Senior football medals? 13508390 (Galway) - Posts: 27 - 06/07/2016 09:31:26 1877129 Link
Replying To 13508390: "Name the 4 non-Kerry men to win 4 All - Ireland Senior football medals?" I would hazzard a guess that they are all Wexford men from the 1915-1918 All Ireland wins. Think Sean Kennedy captained them to 3 of them, not sure if he was still about for their last win in 1918 though. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 06/07/2016 10:03:07 1877146 Link
Replying To 13508390: "Name the 4 non-Kerry men to win 4 All - Ireland Senior football medals?" Mattie McDonagh and Brian Mullins are two. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 8150 - 06/07/2016 10:07:57 1877150 Link

Replying To 13508390: "Name the 4 non-Kerry men to win 4 All - Ireland Senior football medals?" Brian Mullins Anton OTOOLE. Mattie Mc Donagh are all I can think of unless you go way back dubarra (Wicklow) - Posts: 541 - 06/07/2016 10:27:45 1877159 Link
Replying To dubarra: "Brian Mullins Anton OTOOLE. Mattie Mc Donagh are all I can think of unless you go way back" Double checked and Sean Kennedy may have only captained Wexford to three but he played in all four, so think 13508390 original question is wrong. There is definitely a few Wexford lads that won 4 All Irelands with that great team. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 06/07/2016 11:11:01 1877201 Link

Don't think the question was about who captained them just who won 4.No one in the last 60 yrs I can.think of so your probably right about it been someone from wexford. I reckon maybe maybe a good few from the 4 in a row team dubarra (Wicklow) - Posts: 541 - 06/07/2016 11:31:28 1877216 Link

Maybe a Wexford poster knows exactly how many of the team played in all four finals? TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 06/07/2016 11:44:28 1877226 Link

Would be interesting to know who he thinks the 4 players are. dubarra (Wicklow) - Posts: 541 - 06/07/2016 11:59:07 1877239 Link
Have any football player's won All-Ireland medals playing under assumed names. Priests normally played under assumed names. I think the Mayo corner forward on the winning teams in the early fifties did not play under his own name. Can you name any footballers who represented their county in both minor and senior c'ships on the same day? I seem to remember Mick Carey of Westmeston doing it. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 06/07/2016 16:51:15 1877457 Link
