Am I missing something here is the most obvious and the most recent not .. Martin mc Hugh and mark mchugh rossy15 (Roscommon) - Posts: 619 - 31/08/2016 21:32:01 1908870 Link
Replying To sam02: "Sorry my friend from Leitrim, A.I.F. of 1925 was declared "NULL and VOID", no medals presented, but it is always said that Galway Co Board bought medals for the team members and distributed them, but not the Celtic Cross from Croke Park. Spin that if you like !!!!" Correct: Mayo were originally All-Ieland champions that year, but Galway were awarded it following an objection and replayed Connacht final after the event. Very iffy.

The late Pat Carroll All Ireland winner with Offaly in breakthrough year 1981, and his son Brian, retired this year. Damian Martin and his son Eunan, Padraig Horan, and his sons Diarmuid, can't think of the other man's name unfortunately, all played with Offaly following in their father's footsteps. Joe and Shane Dooley. Football. Martin and Ken Furlong, Richie and Brian Connor, now in New York. Tomas Connor All Ireland winner 1982, and his son also Tomas Kildare footballer. Mick Ryan 1971/1972 and Mick Wright had sons who played with Kildare in latter years. thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1745 - 31/08/2016 21:50:01 1908880 Link
Replying To patrique: "The Larkins from Kilkenny, 3 generations, the first two before the Rattler and son. I imagine there are quite a few of these, and a lot more in the near future if you look at Kerry's up and coming youngsters. Amazingly Antrim have a father and son who both lost in Hurling finals. Considering that in 121 years of competition Ulster counties have only been in two finals, it is some coincidence." Dave Power played in the losing 1910 All Ireland Final, His son Jackie won All Ireland Hurling Medals in 36 and 40, in turn Ger Power his son won eight All Ireland football medals and Stephen McNamara from the next generation won an All Ireland medal with Clare so one from each of four generations won or at least played in All Ireland finals and with three different counties.

Eamon Cregan won an All Ireland in 1973. I saw him, play over a 23 year period, in every position in the field, except corner back, the position in which his father Ned, from Monagay, won an All Ireland medal in the Jubilee year of 1934.

If we can include minor: Padraig Maher 2005/2006 his father Paddy 1980 I believe. You can add Ronan Maher to that family now!! Thomas Stapelton 2006 his father Mick could be 1976 but around late 70s. WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 31/08/2016 22:23:06 1908897 Link
Replying To dubupnorth: "Heard before that former Kerry great Ger Power's father won an all Ireland Hurling medal with Limerick (think his name is Jackie??) anyone know if this is true??" yes and Ger's nephew, and Jackie's grandson, Stephen McNamara won an All Ireland with Clare Oldtourman (Limerick) - Posts: 4323 - 31/08/2016 22:37:03 1908900 Link

Replying To Gleebo: "Correct: Mayo were originally All-Ieland champions that year, but Galway were awarded it following an objection and replayed Connacht final after the event. Very iffy." You may not like it Gleebo, but the history books show Galway as the 1925 All-Ireland champions. And that decision wasn't as "iffy' as declaring Mayo were champions despite not having yet played in Connacht. Ailteoir (Galway) - Posts: 861 - 01/09/2016 09:35:07 1908954 Link
Replying To rossy15: "Am I missing something here is the most obvious and the most recent not .. Martin mc Hugh and mark mchugh" incorrect. Dean rock and james McCarthy, Bernard and Alan Brogan are all more recent, waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 01/09/2016 10:02:43 1908973 Link
Replying To waynoI: "incorrect. Dean rock and james McCarthy, Bernard and Alan Brogan are all more recent," Depends how u look at that I said most recent and most obvious ... Martin mc Hugh won it in 92 and mark in 2012 so their the most recent combo Obviously yes brogan and rock won medals since but it's longer ago that their fathers won them By most obvious I meant Martin is very well known due to his media work with Sunday game and BBC so better known country wide than brogan or to a lesser extent barney rock .

Replying To thelongridge: "Cavan are ruled out then!" On reflection my earlier post was a little smart alecky. Apologies to smcgoldrick. In a topic like this, the odds favour father and son AI winners from Kerry and Dublin in football, as they have won most football titles between them, but not all of them. Similarly with Kilkenny, Tipperary, and Cork in hurling. It's probably a small number overall. There are other counties where fathers and sons represented their own, or other counties, in different eras, without dual all Ireland success. The GAA is made up of all counties, not all of them have won national titles, but they keep competing. thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1745 - 01/09/2016 19:23:31 1909279 Link

Replying To Breffni39: "Who is the only soccer player in history to come on as a sub for his father in a full soccer international. He is very well known and still playing. Eidur Gudjohnson" Any relation to the good Seanie Johnson? :) baire (Galway) - Posts: 1809 - 01/09/2016 19:35:50 1909283 Link
Ogie Moran (Kerry) winner of eight All -Ireland medals, his son David winning All-Ireland medals in 2009 and 2014. Sean Walsh (Kerry) winner of seven All-Ireland medals, his son Tommy winning an All-Ireland medal in 2009. fainleog (Limerick) - Posts: 598 - 01/09/2016 20:15:41 1909291 Link

That's all" 20 years was the gap between father and son winning All Ireland medals The gap was longer between the Walshes the Kennellys Morans Brogans and MC Carthys So the MC Hugh's are the most recent.

Replying to rossy 15 - In all fairness no McHugh is as famous or as well known as Bernard Brogan. fainleog (Limerick) - Posts: 598 - 01/09/2016 20:53:51 1909300 Link
