I remember well but Sown got two all stars in the forwards I think. Greg Blaney definately got one.My point was Cork are the only team ever to win an all ireland to my knowledge that got no forward selected on the all stars.

And many would say that John Galvin was by far and away the best midfielder in Ireland that year and the GPA recognised that when they selected him on their team. As I have often said before the fact that the finalists must get a certain number of players on a team makes the All Stars system of selection a pure joke.

Its mental Kevin McLoughlin doesnt have one, i would argue he has been Mayos most influential player (after Keegan) in the past decade, always shows up whatever the opposition. HuddHastings (Longford) - Posts: 144 - 15/02/2021 11:30:07 2331432 Link 1 |
I think most would agree with that Oldtourman. Galvin should ve won an all star in 2010 in particular and for a decade was in the top 3 or 4 midfielders in the country. The all stars originally were suppose to select the best players over the 12 month period league and championship but now its based mainly in semis and finals.

Rory Kavanagh should have gotten one in the McGuinness era, he was a key player in that donegal team HuddHastings (Longford) - Posts: 144 - 15/02/2021 13:49:03 2331450 Link 0 |

Yes very like Stephen ó Brien of Kerry in 2019 who was bookies favourite for poty before final but did nt get an all star after all. Kevin NAC unlucky no doubt. His story will be kind to him though.

John Heslin from Westmeath. A footballer who I admire greatly and one who had many a great battle down through the years with Paddy Keenan. Ollie2 (Louth) - Posts: 782 - 18/02/2021 16:04:10 2331897 Link 0 |
