Chuir mé an cheist ansin ar cén t-imreoir is fearr a bhí agam riamh, dar leis, agus dúirt sé go raibh an t-ádh linn anseo i Maigh Eo mar le na blianta anuas tá a lán imreoir iontach feicthe againn agus go raibh sé fíor-deacair mar sin imreoir amháin a phiocadh amach agus gur phioc sé triúr a sheas amach leo fhéin i gcónaí sé Willie Joe, Paddy Kieran McDonald agus Kate Higgins ach é sin ráite dúirt sé liom go raibh pictiúr iontach crochta ina haghaidh aige ina halla a tógadh é i naoi déag ochtó cúig i rith cluiche leathcheannais na hÉireann agus is pictiúr iontach é a thaispeánann Willie Joe fáil an lámh in uachtar ar imreoir Baile Átha Cliath, Brian M.

I then asked him the question about who was the best player he ever had, according to him, and he said that we are lucky here in Mayo because over the years we have seen many great players and that it was therefore very difficult to pick out just one player and that he picked three who always stood out for him: Willie Joe, Paddy Kieran McDonald, and Kate Higgins. But that said, he told me that he has a wonderful picture hanging in his hall that was taken in 1985 during an All-Ireland semi-final match and it is a wonderful picture that shows Willie Joe getting the upper hand over a Dublin player, Brian M.
