The Chosen 15: Meath's Best Team From Our Last Four All-Ireland Wins

(Oldest Posts First)

For the past month we have asked our readers to choose their starting 15 made up from Meath's last four All-Ireland winning sides.

We had a fantastic response as the deeds of the Sam Maguire winning teams of 1987, 1988, 1996 and 1999 were recalled.

So here are the chosen 15, or actually 16 as one spot couldn't be decided.

That is some Meath team from the winning All Ireland's. Colm O Rouke was my fav Royal player.

Kind of bottled it a bit by picking 2 full backs.

Interesting to see, of the 16 players picked, 10 players picked in the positions they started in 88 final. Over the years most people I have talked to would see the 86- 91 era team as Meaths best team ever (a bit better than the 96-2001 era team). Would most on here agree?

Personally thought Conor Martin was the worst goalkeeper of all those All Ireland's. Also midfield too similar, Hayes with either, would side with McEntee. Glad whoever picked team was not selector seeing as we had 16 players. Bottle job if ever there was one with two full backs.
