Perhaps a biased start however Karl Lacey is one of the best corner backs I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Donegal's second 2-time all star, he has played in a Donegal defense that has never been entirely solid, making his achievements even better IMO.

I'll agree with the lads. Lacey is exceptional. An example of how a corner back should play.

Lacey one of the best around right now, true.

However, if we go back through the annals of Gaelic Football, we will find a few obvious candidates.

Robbie O'Malley
Enda Colleran
Sean Flanagan
Kieran McKeever
Niall Cahalane

I'll give my vote to the St. Colmcilles man.

Possibly, had he ever played there. He was virtually always in the left-corner, apart from when he filled in at full-back.

In addition to what has already been mentioned here, I'd also add Paudi O'Se and Mayo's Kenneth Mortimor, perhaps the best right-corner back of the 90s.

Kieran Mc Keever without a shadow of a doubt - O' Malley would be next in line IMO

sorry TC i was fairly young when scullion was at his best but did seem him play several times. i was sure he spent a while at number 2 but regardless he has to get one of the corner back slots.

That he surely is JB, in recent years, but I'd still go for Olly (Honeymonster ) Honeyman as the best No.2 I've seen in the county jersey....
