Today FM and SKY Sports want you to pick the best 15 Gaelic Footballers of the last 15 years. Go to www.todayfm.com/skysports and select your 1-15. Former Meath manager Sean Boylan and Galway defender Finian Hanley joinned Matt to talk about some of their choices. • Seán says All Ireland winners have to get preference because a good player is defined by how they perform on the big occasion. • Will Seán be including any of his former Meath players – he says he won’t be. • Has to be the perfect mix of players both current and former – Seán is veering towards the older generation of players – won’t be including the Bernard Brogans, Aidan O’Se’s etc, they still have something to prove. • The Peter Canavans, Declan O’Sullivan and Brian Dooher don’t. • Finian is approaching it from a different perspective, he’s basing it on guys who caused him trouble on the pitch – “Bernard Brogan is probably the hardest guy I’ve ever had to mark so he would get a spot on any of my teams.” • He chose his team based on players who never relied on a system or those around them and were stand alone players – the likes of Tom O’Sullivan, Marc O’Sé and Sean Cavanagh. • Modern football is all about blanket defence and moving in waves – Seamus Moynihan was a stand alone incredible defender – couldn’t leave him out? • Based on the 2001 All Ireland Final, Finian says you couldn’t omit Pádraig Joyce.
