Favourite League of Ireland player EVER

[Hibs4Ever]

Probably been done before, but I'm bored. So I'll start:

Eddie Gormley - Pure class, a credit to the league

[Terry]

Paul Mc Gee most skillful player I ever watch, full of himself though!

[carrickharp]

Brendan Bradley - Legend

[dancinpants]

Ben Hannigan - Cork Celtic/Shelbourne (When Shels were a decent club...;) )

Recent/Current:
Pat Morley/Stephen Napier/Kevin Doyle - Cork City

[drummerboy]

Martin Murray, when he played for Home Farm

Mick O’Brien, Athlone Town keeper, absolutely crackers, entertained the crowd every time.

There's always one, isn't there? :rolleyes:

[town73]

Pat 'Zac' Hackett.

[Pablo]

Davy Barry-sporting legend

[Éanna]

patsy freyne. pat morley and paul osam come very close.

in the last few years, I'd go for Kevin Doyle and Georgie

[the 12 th man]

the late jackie jameson (who died at a very young age/early forties i think)
was thought by many neutral people to have been one of the most gifted players to play his entire career out at home.

an absolute gentleman as well.

[Slash/ED]

Stephen Geoghegan and Tony Sheridan would be the two obvious ones.

I'll second that. Had the pleasure of meeting him once in Newbridge.

[De Town]

Has to be Digger.

[A face]

Doubtcha Davey Barry Boy !!!

Has to be !! ..... City Legend !!

[drinkfeckarse]

Pat Byrne- Shamrock Rovers.

He played a few games with the Ramblers about 10-12 years ago and even though he was about 40 then and a bit overweight, he was still a class act and full of encouragement to yong players like myself :cool:

[pete]

Davie Barry.

Harder to pick opposition player but would have to respect Osam (even if he is doubtful) &Kevin Hunt..

[DvB]

The aformentioned Pat Byrne, superb player!
Noel Larkin was another amazing player any time i was lucky enough to see him play!

koh

[jimhacker]

Stephen Geoghegan and Tony Sheridan would be the two obvious ones.
Obvious to who? - apart from Shels people

[kevincronin2000]

Liam Coyle

[Slash/ED]

Obvious to who? - apart from Shels people

The obvious ones for me.

[paudie]

City player - Dave Barry

Other Clubs - Liam Coyle

[Dr.Nightdub]

Pats - hard to call, but Ozo just shades it for me ahead of Eddie.

Others - Liam Coyle was always the one opposition player that absolutely terrified me, which is as good an indication of any of pure talent.

[dancinpants]

Is favourite different to the BEST? Coz if it isn't, I don't understand why Liam Coyle only gets 5 votes.

[BobtheDrog]

Bobby Browne

For what its worth i though about putting him down ... it is a hard question in all fairness, .... i think it is a very hard call to be honest.

[Sonic]

sean hussey paschel fla and then zzzzzzzzzzzzzzac third:P

[RedX]

Liam O 'Brien in his prime for Shamrock Rovers..absolutely fantastic!

George O 'Callaghan..legend!

[dortie]

Liam Coyle......

Im only happy I was able to witness him play through his entire career, right up to his very last goal in his very last match to relegate Finn Harps. Classic end to a career.

[Passive]

Rovers players - Tony Cousins, Gino Brazil, Peter Eccles, Trevor Molloy.

Non-Rovers - Tony Sheridan, Liam Coyle, Paul Osam.

[The Donie Forde]

Ben Hannigan and Paddy Shortt.

Anyone too young to remember them, you can't even begin to imagine what you missed...

Donie

[B-Stand]

Rovers players - Tony Cousins, Gino Brazil, Peter Eccles, Trevor Molloy.



Good to see 3 Bohsmen there ;)

Bohs - Past and Present - Kevin 'GOD' Hunt.

Others - Liam Coyle

[CollegeTillIDie]

I went to my first League of Ireland game back in 1972
goalkeeper defender striker
Ok past players ( pre-1979) Richie Blackmore, Al Finucane, Brendan Bradley
Turlough O'Connor. The last two were the top two goalscorers in history until very recently. Bradley is still the leading scorer but I think Pat Morley has eclipsed Turlie.
goalkeeper defender Attackers
U.C.D. players ( past) Alan O'Neill, Ken O'Doherty, Darren O'Brien and Mick O'Byrne

Other clubs too many to name in one short posting.
Pat Morley would definitely be up there in the strikers category

[A face]

right up to his very last goal


The last goal i saw him score (i think it was Rovers, not sure though, it was day time game) and it was a cluttered box and the ball could have gone anyway and did, Coyle turned underneath the ball and kicked it over head into the corner the keeper wasnt in. I'm not describing that very well but it was a total reaction/instinctive goal, brilliant stuff ..... you'd have to have seen it, great goal !!

[TheJamaicanP.M.]

Has to be Zac Hackett.

[conboy]

Dave Barry and Liam Coyle. I died laughing at the rovers nominee :D s.

[Réiteoir]

Jackie Jameson, Liam Coyle, Paul Osam.

at the moment - Kevin Hunt

[jimhacker]

Yeah - we often wanted him to be put down as well
