I'm saving Matt for Full Forward.

My vote goes to Denis Ogie Moran - All Ireland winner on eight occasions and the only player to win the eight medals playing in the one position and having played every single minute of the eight games.

There have been a pletera of players who have played on the forth that are worthy of a mention, Larry Thompkins, Trevor Giles, Ja Fallon, Greg Blaney who I though Was a class centre forward, but I'll go back a bit and Ya I'll be accused of being biased but Óige Moran, father of Current Kerry panellist David. Óige played for Kerry from 1975-1988. Mainly on the 40 but did have one or two years at wing back and wing forward. He won 8 All Ireland medals from the 40 class class player. When people mention the great team of the 70's and 80's all the marquee forwards roll off the tongue but Óige was very underrated he was a class apart winning all his medals in the same position.

My choice for the 40: Óige Moran

Trevor Giles, the greatest No.11 I have ever had the pleasure of seeing live.
Special mention to Brian McGuigan, but Giles shades it.

Brian Dooher gets the number 10 jersey with Down legend Sean O Neill in second place .

Well done Brian, perhaps the hardest working wing forward in the history of the game. He was one of the heart beats of the great Tyrone team of the noughties and will be near impossible to replace.

Votes for the vital centre half forward position please.

No. 11 Trevor Giles

RoylerKing (Meath) - Posts: 809 - 17/06/2013 11:17:16    1408543

My choice for no 11 comes from either Trevor Giles (Meath), Declan O Sullivan (Kerry), Denis Oige Moran (Kerry), Sean Purcell (Galway),Larry Tompkins (Cork), Tony Hanahoe (Dublin), Ciaran McDonald (Mayo).

I will go with Larry Tompkins

For No 11 Sean Purcell was fantastic, Ja Fallon also a legend but i'm going to have to go with, in my eyes anyway one of the most gifted footballers never to win Sam. Just a shame he's from Mayo :-) My vote go's to Ciaran McDonald.

Ciarán McDonald.

Ciaran McDonald gifted player but he never did it when his county really needed him apart from against an average Dublin in 06.

Declan O Sullivan pound for pound arguably the most complete footballer in the country at the moment,But still i'm gonna plump for Ciaran McDonald,Every inch a top drawer player.Giles was a class act,As was McGuigan

shea (Kerry) - Posts: 409 - 17/06/2013 11:57:36    1408616

Ciaran McDonaldo for me. Giles a very clsoe second. Honorable mentions to McGuigan and Martin McHugh!

Realdub dont even enter into that debate with the lad from kildare ! Keith barr put manners on tom harris when he play champo for the dubs v kildare and also in the leinster club final in 1997 erins isle v clane ! Harris hasnt been seen since probably still hiding under his bed ! Lol !

For me as a meathman i'd love to say Trevor Giles
4 time all ireland winner 2 senior, 1 U21 and 1 Minor and twice player of the year
Playmaker supreme, accurate free taker, tougher than given credit for and was the template for the modern CHF that followed him all of whom i'd give honourable mentions too..McDonald, McGuigan and Declan O'Sullivan


But i'm going for Greg Blaney
He made the Down team of the early 90's tick...whilst Linden, Carr and McCarten were the star turns...everything went through Greg Blaney. He was a tough man, who soldiered for years without any success with that Down team and finally got his just rewards at the end of his career.

Hey seanienosense very few players ever got the better of keith barr your obviously referring to the big games of the nineties im doing so your being very selective i dont remember keith being cleaned out in any of those games ! Just because the dubs lost those games doesnt mean KB was responsible none of his markers ran up big scores ! Keith barr being afraid of martin "beag" mc hugh ? Your having a laugh ! As and for the feathered hair as you put it ' the aul mullet was the hairstyle of choice of a few of that donegal team ! (and still is by one of your 1992 subs)
