Or how about who is the best All Ireland winner from Kildare in living memory, Larry Tompkins or Shay Fahy?
Fahy for me, mostly because I got overcharged for a round in Larry's pub one night. Was an innocent mistake and sorted out straight away but still bad form.

Both great players, o'Connell being strong on both feet In that era was quite rare. Over the years saw both being roasted and thought o'connell making team of the millennium was a bit much. Have to be biased here and say Curran.

2 former Texaco footballers of the year.
I always liked Paul Curran (his father won an All Ireland with Meath and saw an article in the heard once where he said Meath are the team he supports after Dublin).
Still, have to say Martin O'Connell, he was a very stylish player to watch.

Easy to sort this one out. Put them in a ring and let them go at it.

Imagine the ticket and PPV sales it would generate....niether would that a backward step.
