Selecting the best hurling forwards of the modern era is an impossible task

They have 36 All-Ireland titles to their credit and in the list of forward contributors you have iconic names like Eddie Keher, DJ Carey, Henry Shefflin, Charlie Carter, Eddie Brennan, Richie Power, Mick Brennan, and so on.

Of more recent vintage you have to include Ben O’Connor, Joe Deane, Seanie McGrath, Timmy McCarthy, John Fitzgibbon, Fergal McCormack and of the current crop, Patrick Horgan who would have starred in any era with some of the aforementioned names around him.

John Leahy too was an outstanding hurler while Michael Cleary would have to figure very prominently in any attacker list.

Richie Bennis was another forward of the highest quality and on the edge of the square you had Joe McKenna.
