Fantasy GAA XV: A team of All-Ireland club football-winning Munster legends

Homesport

This is a serious side.

With the AIB GAA Club Championships now entering their final stages, we decided to go province by province and select a fantasy XV of players who have won an All-Ireland title with their clubs. We should stress that only players who WON a All-Ireland SENIOR club title are eligible for selection, but the pick is still pretty vast. This time we look at Munster, who have had a pretty barren spell in recent times with Nemo Rangers the last side from the southern province to win an All-Ireland in 2003. The selection leaves us with seven Kerry men, seven Cork men and a Kildare man (Shea Fahy who moved to Cork and lined out with Nemo). There are plenty of legends and cult heroes sprinkled in here, and we reckon the team would take some stopping.
