And to think I used to doubt the sincerity of this one.

In terms of skill I'd say Joe Canning along with Henry Sheflin and DJ Carey would be the top three of the decade.

This quintessential moment in time epitomises to me the greatness of Carey....I'll grant you Clash, that Joe has struck some mighty scores, Shefflin is a true quality hurler with power, vision, skill and a huge presence, but for me, Carey is the hurler of the decade, if not of all time....

That moment was towards the twilight of his career but silenced all the critics who said he couldn't do it in an All Ireland Final. Never really got involved in any dirty play either.

If you should have seen an all-round hurler, better than DJ, please post his name here.....Pace, pluck, vision, artistry, tackling, cunnning and ne're a dirty or sly stroke in his career......Next please...

His off the ball play I think prevents him from ever been mentioned with the greats. He only has himself to blame.

Small minds achieve small realities...ye've pupped ye're pups and by eaten by bigger (or smaller) dogs...i.e Small Tommy..
