Just wondering who would make a footballing farmer XV, might do one for teachers and bankers too. Surely Thomas Mannion and Jimmy Feehan in the backs, Darren or Kieran Hughes with John Heslin in midfield. What do you think? gavin6692 (Wexford) - Posts: 2 - 23/06/2017 12:50:34 2003962 Link

Replying To blueman1903: "I think Darren Hugh's is the farmer not ciaran," Ah cheers I thought both of them were. Makes it Heslin and Darren Hughes in midfield so. gavin6692 (Wexford) - Posts: 2 - 23/06/2017 13:43:04 2004000 Link
Farming footballers are a dying breed now, sadly. Mind you, making hay on the morning of a game seems surprisingly sensible compared to some modern-day routines. But that's for another thread.... streaker (Galway) - Posts: 497 - 23/06/2017 18:16:01 2004127 Link

Paddy o rourke in goals can't think of anyone else on the Meath panel that farms, maybe the real reason we've gone soft the teams of the 80s and 90s had farmers on them.

James McEnroe for cavan is a farmer, gearoid mckiernan is from a dairy farm but he works off farm. blueman1903 (Cavan) - Posts: 881 - 23/06/2017 19:39:20 2004146 Link
