The choice of our judging panel for Centre Back on the 15 for 15 selection is Armagh’s Kieran McGeeney.

In 2002, when the final whistle blew in the All Ireland senior football final, the ball was in McGeeney’s hands and he sunk to his knees.  He had just captained the Orchard County to their first and to date only All Ireland title.  The Mullaghbawn man would lift the Sam Maguire Cup on the steps of the Hogan Stand in front of a memorable sea of orange.

When you think of Kieran McGeeney as a player you think of one word – leader.  He was named Footballer of the Year in 2002 and guided Armagh on the pitch to the Ulster title on 6 occasions before retiring in 2007.  He also collected 3 All Stars.

McGeeney, who was tough as nails while playing within the rules, was the key linkman between the Armagh defence and attack.  He did his talking in the dressing room and on the pitch.  He led by example. 

Congratulations to Martin Lafferty, who selected Kieran, and who has won a SKY package for a year.

Tomorrow we will reveal the Left Half Back  on the 15 for 15.
