Yes, there were.

I remember John McCormack played wing forward for Longfoot.

He was absolutely brilliant.

If he was playing with Kerry, he would have a ton of all-stars.

There are fellas like that.

This is the look of Bert by being born in a county like Kerry and getting to All-Ireland finals.

And like you said, this year's All-Ireland, you know, all-stars are subjective.

I always find in all the, in the 35 years I've been writing with the Son of Old, the easiest thing to get a reaction is a list of,

or a team the best team the top 15 because it's subjective but everyone has an opinion but like at the end of the day like I'm looking at this year's All-Stars and of course like there's a formula and 40% of the All-Arden finalists make up the nominations that's usually about it maybe the National League champions might get one they won't this year but

I would look at it and I see, well, Mayo got 11.

And, you know, I would look at the four that were missing out.

Three of them, yeah.

Bob Toohey and Dermot O'Connor and Paul Towie.

No, it wouldn't have been.

I would have said Owen McGrail.

Mm-hmm.

Agreed he missed some of the season through injury, but Owen McGrath did some brilliant man-marking jobs.

And if you can remember in the All-Ireland final, it was only when Owen McGrath went off injured that Paddy Clifford stormed into the game.

I would look at things like, yeah, and you're right, I mean, as Dick said, he felt he could have got All-Stars mid-season.

Like, when I look at the provincial championships, and I was there the same day, one of the best individual displays I saw in a provincial championship was by Barry McNulty of Leitrim in the Connacht quarterfinal.
