Who are the greats

Clash - I know you don't rate King Henry very highly. I think he is unbelievable - even a couple of things he did in the final were awesome. He has been unlucky with injuries but I think he's the real deal. Twice the player DJ was - could never see the fuss there!

Anyway - the ones that stick in my mind would be Eddie Keher, Nicky, the Connollys, Pat Fox, JBM, Ray Cummings, Johnny Dooley, Brian Whelehan - come to think of it there are more legends (out of a pool of a lot less players) in hurling than football. Who would your top 5 be - that you saw playing.

1. Joe Canning
2.Joe Cooney
3. Tommy Dunne
4. Brian Whelehan
5. Nicky English

Yeah not much wrong with them lads and the top 2 have the same initials as yours truly!

As you can see no bias at all in my choices.

Bias is in the eye of the beholder!!! What about Gerry Mc, Lynskey, Lane etc! you could be selling yourself short there Clash!

Sparrow and PJ O'Connell were great.

In fact the whole Clare 95 team was legendary.

More legends:
Jimmy Barry Murphy, John Power, Joe Rabbite, Joe Dooley, Michael Duighan,Terence McNaughton,Martin Naughton, John Leahy, Charlie Carter, Tony Keady, Hopper McGrath,Sylvie Linnane, Noel Lane, Conor Hayes.

The game has changed so much even in the last 10 years. Players skills are so much better now that they previously where.

Joe Canning and Henry have the potential to be the best ever.

I would love to see christy ring hurling now though I dont think anyone would stop him

(well except the 08 striking players)
