Including more Dublin icons than you can shake a stick at.
With only the finals of the AIB GAA Club Championships left to come we’ve been continuing our journey around the provinces to pick fantasy selections made up of some of the best players to have tasted glory on the club scene over the years.
This time, it’s the turn of Leinster football and some really, really big names from the history of GAA have tasted success with clubs in the province over the years.
We should stress that only players who WON an All-Ireland SENIOR club title are eligible for selection, but the pick is still pretty vast.
Starting with UCD, who won the fourth and fifth editions of the All-Ireland Club Championships in 1974 and 1975, Leinster clubs have won the big prize on nine separate occasions.
Dublin giants St. Vincent’s have won it three times, Kilmacud Crokes and UCD have claimed it two times apiece, with Portlaoise and Wicklow club Baltinglass also reaching the promised land.
As has been the case so far, there were some incredibly tough calls to make, but have a look at our selection below and see what you think.
When you’re done scrolling through this bunch of All-Stars, why not check out our Connacht, Munster and Ulster selections.
