Mick O'Dwyer (Kerry) started in the half-backs and was moved to the forwards later.

Cormac mcanallen RIP moved from midfield to full back. I think he showed in the few games he played there, that he could have been one of the greats in this position.

I am not 100 percent sure but i think sean walsh kerry won 7 all irelands 2 all stars played midfield full back and i think he played full forward in one of the games but was named to play midfield?

Brian Cody, Bobby Ryan, Martin O'Connell were top defenders who were less successful when tried at full forward.
