I would have said Canavan at 15, but now I'll say Stevie Mc Donnell as the forward line needs someone good in the air as well.

My vote goes to Bernard Brogan , outstanding talent who in '10 played some of the greatest football I've ever seen from any forward. Bernard's biggest problem is he's a Dub not even admin gave him a mention , hard to believe after all the roasting he's given to some of the greatest backs to ever play the game.

Bernard Flynn. Balance personified.

PETER CANAVAN HAS BEEN THEE MOST ENTERTAINING FOOTBAALER TO WATCH OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS. " NOTHING COMPARES TO HIM" PLAIN AND SIMPLE. HE FILLED CROKE PARK AND MANY OTHER STADIUMS MORE TIMES THAN ANYBODY ELSE. People travelled from all parts of this Island and further afield to see his magic. Padraig Joyce should be in that team also.

Maurice Fitzgerald, best player I've ever seen.

No 15 is Maurice Fitzgerald, the most gifted footballer of his generation. Any of the kerry players who played with both Gooch and Fitz would opt for Maurice. A genius!

bennybunny
County: Cork
I will vote Peter Canavan for 14. I did not vote for a few days. Looking back over the votes, I would have guessed that Brian McGuigan would have come close to winning the no 11 spot given the preponderance for current/recent players. To my astonishment, he did not even get a single nomination. This should be done again and next time, nobody should be allowed to vote for players from their own county (I am guilty of that on two positions). That way we might come close to the greatest football team of all time rather than the best Meath XV of the last 30 years.


Here, here bennybunny, here, here, well said lad.

No.15 Declan Browne,
Unlike some of the players voted for,
no.15 was Declan's position.
He was an outstandingly gifted player.

Maurice Fitz (Kerry)

Admin I think we should get to vote for number 11 again as it was a draw.

Canavan declan browne , ahead of B Brogan who has yet to deliver a career , both browne who was unlucky not to play for a better team and canavan who did it consistently delivered over a full career which gives them a big edge on BB , gun to head has to be Peter Canavan

Brogan was incredible in 10, but there is no way he deserves to be in the greatest team of all time. He has only really been a top corner forward since 2009, and he had a dodgy year last year. To vote him ahead of the likes of Fitzgerald and Connor is a bit much, come on now lads.

Hasn't done it over a career wtf???? What are you on about Damo? Bernard Brogan is the best 15 to ever play the game just ask Marc O Se , the McMahon brothers, Canty, Sheilds, McGhee,Clafferty, Ollie Lyons etc

clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 21/06/2013 14:03:34    1412277

clondalkin you're off your head thinking BB is the best #15 of all time. A great player yes, but he hasn't recaptured his 10/11 form.

For me it simply has to be Maurice Fitzgerald. Quite simply a genius on the field and my favourite player of all time.
