Some man. From a back to a top class forward. He gave everything to the cause. Will be sorely missed. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7830 - 26/08/2019 19:00:29 2229511 Link 16 |
Ah lord. Great warrior. Feels like the end of an era. Very best wishes to Andy.

Best forward Mayo had for years and was still showing the way in his final season. Best of luck to him. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 26/08/2019 19:47:39 2229525 Link 1 |
Wasn't aware, great player, deserved at least a couple of AI medals but it wasn't to be. Best of luck in the real world Andy! realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8571 - 26/08/2019 19:57:55 2229528 Link 13 |
Fantastic player a serious class act, will be badly missed not just by mayo but neutrals who enjoyed watching him play. Yourjoking (USA) - Posts: 699 - 26/08/2019 20:15:33 2229535 Link 3 |
Great servant to his county and always very honest in his efforts. A great role model to young players and although never landed the big one will always be remembered as a great forward. He seems the type of player that will get involved in coaching / managing so we'll possibly see him again! Tir Conaill Abu (Donegal) - Posts: 1671 - 26/08/2019 20:26:29 2229538 Link 1 |
Best of luck to Andy in his retirement, a really classy forward. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 26/08/2019 20:41:47 2229543 Link 1 |
Mayo's greatest ever forward class act came back from a serious knee injury to win poty at 33 great achievement. All the best in retirement to Andy very likeable guy. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 26/08/2019 20:44:36 2229544 Link 5 |
Thank you Andy. A gent on and off the field. Gave it his all for Mayo. A real role model for younger players. A super player. He will be missed. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11219 - 26/08/2019 20:51:16 2229547 Link 11 |
Great player. Really was impressed with him in the super 8 match he played against us, you see much more about a plater when you see him in the flesh rather than on TV. He is a real leader of men. bdbuddah (Meath) - Posts: 1298 - 26/08/2019 20:57:43 2229550 Link 1 |
Andy was good but Cillian O Connor the highest scorer of all time, FGS!

By your logic that makes Cillian O'Connor a better forward than Gooch, Maurice Fitzgerald, Peter Canavan, Pat Spillane, Matt Connor etc.......

In anyways, well done Andy on a great innings. Not many make the transition between defender and forward but it shows the ability that the man had. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13692 - 26/08/2019 21:29:51 2229560 Link 10 |
One of the great Roscommon men never to win All Ireland. moros (Roscommon) - Posts: 1075 - 26/08/2019 21:31:03 2229562 Link 6 |

Great player, hated him as a rival but always respected him as a player, a super talent. Well done and best of luck to him in whatever the future holds. Douglas_44 (Roscommon) - Posts: 225 - 26/08/2019 21:38:51 2229565 Link 1 |
Best of luck Andy for the future, was one of our best forwards for years, a leader on and off the pitch, if we had 6 of him we would have won an All Ireland title or 2, will be badly missed but now is the time for the younger players to step up to the mark. As for CoC god help us, has been useless in the past 2 years, he should hang up his boots also, knees are gone, doesn't matter what the head says its the body that makes the final decision riverboys (Mayo) - Posts: 1389 - 26/08/2019 21:50:44 2229569 Link 0 |
I'd have to agree. The badge kissing in Kiltoom was silly and immature back a few years ago but yes he was a quality forward who along with many of his colleagues just came up short in winning an All Ireland.

Good Luck Andy, sorry that the Big One escaped. Class finisher who could win his own ball. Best box office since Willy Joe. MillerX (Meath) - Posts: 1058 - 26/08/2019 21:56:01 2229573 Link 1 |
