Graham "biggy" Reilly has announced his retirement from inter county football. The last Meath player to be playing with a Leinster medal. (One of only 2 non dubs ) he was sublime, often getting a rough time from other teams to nullify his impact. Thanks for the memories and enjoy retirement. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 04/01/2021 14:55:58 2325942 Link 1 |
Ah RD, you're auld favourite, fair play to you mind, you stuck by him. Good luck to the lad! realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8586 - 04/01/2021 16:35:41 2325962 Link 5 |
Ahh he gave that excitement when he got on the ball that few do. He gave me and Meath supporters a fantastic time in many games. As you said all the best to him, I know he is doing coaching badges so maybe one day he will send out a Meath team at some level.

I thought he had already retired , more like an official retirement. He wasn't part of the Meath panel last year. A good half forward. FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2763 - 04/01/2021 17:13:12 2325970 Link 0 |
Bigger players also gone in the last few days, David Clarke And Donnie Vaughan and Donie Shine in Roscommon; three fabulous players who gave so much to their counties.. Galwaymaster9 (Galway) - Posts: 393 - 04/01/2021 17:26:25 2325975 Link 1 |
No had taken a year out to try and regain fitness. Was hoping to return this year. But just didn't feel he could offer more.

Well then start a thread about them players. Don't try to disrespect one player by saying this was bigger players than them nonsense.

Great servent to Meath over the years and a decent enough player who always seemed to run out of steam in games. Like all the other lads who retired recently, hope it all goes well for them superdub (Dublin) - Posts: 392 - 04/01/2021 21:01:35 2326028 Link 1 |
Biggy was quite a good player for Meath down the years, very much a player who divided opinion but offered a lot to the county set up. bluegossun (Meath) - Posts: 70 - 04/01/2021 21:13:18 2326029 Link 0 |
Great player he was and pulled Meath through a good few games with his scoring prowess.Good that he's putting back into the game with coaching etc. ONdeDITCH (Limerick) - Posts: 873 - 04/01/2021 21:29:32 2326031 Link 0 |
Nope he did not. He played in super 8 s v Donegal. Took a year out due to injury, hoping to make a recovery. Didn't happen. Show some respect to a fantastic player who gave up his youth and upto now for gaa. Pathetic

It's biggy not bigger. As in his nickname since he was 12, all anyone in team or management ever called him same as supporters, did you not know that ??

Anybody else wonder what got under the skins of these galway yokes ? Very bitter. Perhaps they should stick to the stick. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 05/01/2021 23:15:08 2326221 Link 0 |
