You heard it here first, the winning team: 1. Cluxton 2. Marc O'Se 3. Francie Bellew 4. Anthony Lynch 5. Aaron Kernan 6. Seamus Moynihan 7. Graham Canty 8. John Galvin 9. Ciaran Whelan 10. Johnny Doyle 11. Ciaran McDonald 12. Oisin McConville 13. Colm Cooper 14. Padraig Joyce 15. Peter Canavan So hard to pick a team! Can't help but look at the players I left out, Darragh and Tomas, Maurice fitz, Keith Higgins, Steve McDonnell, Stephen O'Neill, Dermot Earley. Tomás will be on it. Wanna take a friendly wager? A pound?? Two pounds???

OK I know this is all personal opinions but Whelan ahead of Darragh?

OK I know this is all personal opinions but Whelan ahead of Darragh? Agree. Whelan won one All Star. Serious aerial ability and strength but inconsistent and from memory when the fat was in the fire, he wasn't a/the go to man. The All Star gongs aren't a bad form line but by all means not the only one. For me I'd have quite a number ahead of him, Darragh for sure. John Galvin is well up on my list and possibly the operator Darragh had his toughest days against.

Always seemed to go missing whenever the Dubs were struggling. Decent analyst alright, I'll give him that.

Simply didn't want to be biased towards Kerry players and felt had to have a dub out the field so this ended up being the sacrifice

Padraig Joyce Hard leaving out: Diarmuid Murphy, Tom O Sullivan, Anthony Lynch, Karl Lacey, Dermot Early, Paul Flynn, Brian Dooher, Michael Murphy, Bernard Brogan Yeah, I just have get Higgins into my team. He's just too good and this is at least his 9th year on the road. I reward length of service. Only remember him from 06 final onwards. He play before that?. For me Canty is the only Cork player I'd consider. Anthony Lynch is popular but I've always thought him a good honest solid player but short of top table. Anyway, I only comment cos I'd be interested in having my memory filled/refreshed with some specific performances that made him stand out. I know he had Colm's docket in the Munster final replay in 09, but the Gooch was 'not himself'. One of Lynch's turnovers came from Gooch fouling himself going down to pick a ball. The 'beloved Anthony' I used think and even shout when throwing my childish toys out in the heat of a Cork v Kerry game, 09 final, his last game, although he was in 2010 panel, well bottom of Hogan Stand steps after game. Hope he got his medal. He was a passionate no bullsh1t player. Did get a taste for the jookin in his later years. Yikes...I wandered a ways off there. What I meant to say was, fine team Seamo.

Yeah Lynch was a very good player for a long time. He slowed down alot in his later years and wasn't helped by the emergence of Gooch!!! For me he was a stand out defender, like you say "no bullsh1t player". I thought about putting him in, but then I thought that he wasn't better than Tom O Sullivan...so went with Higgins who in fairness does everything, man marker, sweeper, sets up attacks, carry's the ball etc. and has done so at a high level for long enough now. If I was to pick this again in 4 years time I reckon Michael Murphy will be first on the teamsheet, wanna see if he has the longevity of Joyce.

Higgins' battle with JOD in the replay last year was one of the finest individual tussles I've ever seen. Not often a player and his marker can each come out with such credit from the one game.

Right finally settled down to the task. TodayFM's website at least preloads the positions so some indecision relieved. Here goes:
. Cluxton Lacey. Moynihan. Higgins
T. O'Se. Canty. Jordan
. D. O'Se . Cavanagh
Dooher. Dec O'Sull. Connolly
Canavan. Murphy. Gooch
Killed me to leave Marc out. Also wanted Ciaran MacDonald at left half FWD but not available but was for other two positions. Couldn't dislodge other two.
Incredible both Brogans and Flynn don't get in and also special mention for Michael Meehan. Many other worthy legends left out too

I went with
Cluxton
Marc, Barry Owens, Keith Higgins Tomas, McGeeney, Jordan Dara, John Galvin Dooher, Sean Cavanagh, Paul Flynn Colm Cooper, Padraic Joyce, Peter Canavan
4 Kerry, 4 Tyrone, 2 Dubs and 1 each from Mayo, Galway, Fermanagh, Limerick and Armagh. No Donegal player, maybe Murphy at 11 and Cavanagh in midfield instead of Galvin.. Not easy to pick!

Seriously no Seamus Moynihan or Maurice Fitz, I might be a small bit biased but I cant see how you can leave these two guys out. Moynihan dominated the game for years at centre back and then moved to full back, remeber his performance against your full forward in the 2002 all ireland final. As for Fitzy any man that can win an all Ireland pratically on his own (Mayo 97) surley needs to be included. Cluxton, Mike McCarthy, Darren Fay, Keith Higgins Tomas, Moynihan, McGeeney Dara, Tohill Dooher, Declan, Canavan Gooch, Murphy, Fitz

You are correct the years go by quite fast however both were still playing in 2001 and are listed on the players to pick from, so again in my view they have to be included.

Not sure if they take multiple entries, but the visible rules are looser than a tart's trunks. Give it a try. Else don an internet wig and alternate credentials. Reckon there'll be lot of folk get the right players, but will get screwed over with positions. We'll see shur...

If that is the case, Fitz would be a surprise.

7. Jordan.
I'm 7 for 7 so far. Next 2 days are gimmes with everyone having Darragh Ó Sé and Cavanagh.
Edit: looking above I'm wrong, lots of different midfield combos possible e.g. McGrane, Whelan, Tohill and a few more.

I obviously underestimated the nation's dislike of Ricey!
