That was in 1984. Taylor had a blinder at wing-back and was in the running for an all-star that year. Laois were very good in the early 80s - Offaly only beat them by a point in 1981 and in a replay in 1982, and they beat Wexford in 1985. If the back door had been in place back then, they probably would have done very well.

It was some goal all right, and before it the dummy on Terry Ferguson to set himself up. From memory that game between Meath and Roscommon in 1991 was a brilliant game of football.

Peter Canavan - 94 - 96 unplayable... he was good in the noughties as well but untouchable back in mid 90s. He also captained tyrone to 2 u21 All Irelands in 91 and 92 and lost the final in 1990, not to mention POY in 1995 after scoring 11 points in AI final conman1282 (Tyrone) - Posts: 88 - 06/09/2021 13:51:20 2378214 Link 0 |

Ahh Graham geraghty won a all star as a back and forward. Think that proves his versatility.

Still the same answers for me as I assumed you couldnt rate a player you never actually saw playing! Mattie Forde and Damien Fitzhenry!

I think Taylor got sent off (possibly in a club game) that year and it may have cost him an All-Star as those were the rules back then.

Graham Geraghty was outstanding wing back, centre back, wing forward, full forward and corner forward. 1 At underage he won minor All Ireland and U21 All Ireland at centre back 1990 to 1993. 2 Came onto the Meath team 1993 1994 league played centre back for seniors 3 He then moved to wing back in 1994 1995 championship where he won All star 4 He then moved to wing forward 1996 1997 1998 putting in man of the match performances in games like 1996 All Ireland semi final, was best attacking wing forward in the country 1996 97 before Michael Donnellan came on the scene. 5 He then moved to full forward I 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 won All star at Full forward and captained Meath to All Ireland as full forward. Came one of the best forwards in Ireland. 6 Then 2006 2007 2008 and n and off up to 2011 he played Half forward in 2008 and full forward and corner forward I cannot think of any footballer in the last 50 years who was putting man of the match performance in provicial finals, All Ireland finals, semi finals at wing back, half forward, and full forward. Also got trails with Arsenal and played rugby in AIL League, rugby high level also. Kingkeegan (UK) - Posts: 55 - 08/09/2021 14:47:23 2378809 Link 0 |

I meant to say I cannot think of any footballer other than Graham Geraghty in the last 50 years who was putting in man of the match performances in provicial finals , All Ireland semis finals and All Ireland finals as a wing back , a wing forward and a full forward.

Sean Lowry was a massive footballer. He understood the role of, and excelled in, every position he ever played in. Paudie Lynch has All-Stars at mid-field, half-back and corner-back. And as a minor center-forward kicked 2-11 against Cork one year. Lynch was as close to the complete footballer as ever you'll get. foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 1927 - 08/09/2021 16:25:31 2378839 Link 0 |
