james hanrahan
karl hogan , mannix , brendan rochford mattie nugent
barry nugent david o grady david russell darryl eade
mikey mahoney tom carmody(only there a few yrs but quality!)
Would have to add Alfonso D'Aurio at full back I think. Avenue team of the 90's was immense. All could really compete physically, I remember many occasions coming out of Ruan or Fairgreen battered and very rarely anything to show for it.Quote:
