S, according to Henry

Dinny Allen, Cork

An all-round sportsman, Denis was lethal in the forward line, the superb opportunist, with a quick turn of speed, excellent distribution and an indomitable spirit.

Tony McManus, Roscommon Tony holds a record 14 county medals with his club in Roscommon, and 4 consecutive Connacht titles with Roscommon from 19771980. One of the greatest forwards of his generation.

Jimmy Keaveney, Dublin After being coaxed out of retirement to spearhead the Dublin attack after arriving back from football oblivion, Jimmy was a model full forward and a real poacher on the edge of the square. The ultimate scoring machine of the decade.

John Egan, Kerry

I wasn’t sure whether to place Egan in my seventies or eighties selection, as he was so good in both decades. He was a force of power, head down, soloing the ball, using one hand to shield off the defender. A player of unbelievable vision.

Sean O’Connell, Derry Although well past his best in the seventies, having been in the forward line since Derry’s defeat to Dublin in the All-Ireland in ’58, he was still a classy forward who gave loyal service to his county and province over so many years, and never had a bad game.

----------------------------------------

So, this is my final selection, which includes players who were strong and resolute in defence, quick and mobile in the centre and creative, intelligent and free scoring in the forwards.

Do look after yourselves and stay safe.
