Offaly for the All Stars, John Troy completed the lot in '99 I think.

One of the Kerrymen is Karl O'Dwyer.

Remember one about John Power (Kilkenny) and Sean Og de Paor (Galway) being the same once translated, that it for the captains one?

Ah the two Dermot Earleys. Always thought Bernard Brogan Snr played in the full-forward line like his son.

Off the top of my head I can think of 6 that have All-stars as backs & forwards: Anthony McGurk, Paddy Moriarity, the great Sean Lowry, Nudie Hughes, Ger Power, and Graham Geraghty. Plus, Brian Whelehan & Tommy Walsh in hurling. Maybe there's more than 6 in football!
