Two separate questions: Who's the best hurler you've seen live? Who's the best footballer you've seen live? Just give one answer for each. I don't want any ifs, buts or maybes, caveats, pound for pound, if they were in another county lark. Just straight answers. Mine are DJ Carey and Colm Cooper.

Replying To royaldunne: "Henry sheflin and Graham Geraghty" Fair play royaldunne Geraghty's was definitely the best punch I saw live when he gave David Henry a puck in 2007! Didn't see him in his younger days in fairness. HurlingSnob (Dublin) - Posts: 220 - 06/07/2017 20:09:38 2011654 Link

Such a choice. Best performance in football was Mattie Forde v Galway, he scored 4-5. In hurling, Joe Canning 2-12 v Cork. He was awesome that night. galwaydublin (Galway) - Posts: 226 - 06/07/2017 20:38:10 2011671 Link

Difficult to keep them to just one. Probably say Tommy Walsh in his pomp was as close to as perfect a hurler as you'll ever see. In football I think Maurice Fitzgerald is probably the most skilful and stylish football player that I've ever seen in the flesh. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13796 - 06/07/2017 21:19:04 2011689 Link

Only ever been to one intercounty hurling match and Eddie Brennan was something else that day. Football it has to be a toss up between Ciaran McDonald and Kieran Donaghy, best full forward i've ever seen in action. gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 06/07/2017 22:05:39 2011719 Link
