Where do Dublin rank among the back-to-back winners?

So where do Dublin rank among the last four teams to have won back-to-back All-Ireland titles? Pretty high according to John Fogarty.

1. Dublin (2015-16):

A 30-game unbeaten run stemming back to Killarney early last spring, this Dublin side haven’t just confirmed themselves as the greatest in the county’s history, but now merit being spoken of among the greats. A fourth All-Ireland title in six seasons, a third in four years of Jim Gavin’s reign, they look odds-on to be the team of the decade. Just one championship game has been lost in this Gavin era. Also National Football League Division 1 and Leinster champions these past two seasons, they are creating history, they are living history.

2. Kerry (2006-07):

Completed under two managers, Jack O’Connor and Pat O’Shea, these All-Ireland victories came as a set and in the middle of four triumphs in six seasons. It must be highlighted the 2006 success was done via the back-door so in terms of ‘perfect’ successive All- Ireland titles they would be discounted. And yet this couplet was a significant one for the alteration in style under O’Shea and that the latter success was achieved without Seamus Moynihan and Mike McCarthy, who had retired following the previous year’s final victory over Mayo.

3. Cork (1989-90):

No doubting that more character and perseverance was shown by Cork than any of the other three. In 1988 and ’89, they had gone to the well only to discover Meath were there first but similar to the Dublin team that eventually got over the line in 1995 they remained undaunted by the task.

In both years, they claimed Kerry’s scalp, dismissing them by a monstrous 15 points in the 1990 Munster final, and that year was made all the sweeter as they went some way to avenging the previous final reverses against Meath by skinning the Royals in September.

4. Meath (1988-89):

Having won a first Leinster title in 16 years in 1986, there was a genuine sense of promise the following year even though Kerry had taught them quite the lesson in the 1986 All- Ireland semi-final. Seán Boylan succeeded in developing a winning culture that saw the glory days return and no team managed to get close to them in ’87. A year later, and like Dublin this year, they had to play two finals to crown back-to-backs and shrug off a bullish Cork team.
