Totally agree! Maybe he was good in the 80's for Rovers, but god he was $hite with us!

[superfrank]

Best:Charles

Worst:Keego (just saying his name annoys me!!)

[ThatGuy]

Best:Charles

Worst:Keego (just saying his name annoys me!!)
FFS people's nominations are ludicrous. If Paul Keegan is Bray's worst player ever then I'm a chinaman.

[De Town]

Worst:Keego (just saying his name annoys me!!)
what did he do to you :confused:

LTFC

Best: digger/stuie byrne
Worst: sini savic closely followed by Kevin McCormack

League

Best: Liam Coyle
worst: sini savic closely followed by Kevin McCormack

[lofty9]

Best : Liam Coyle for sheer talent and ability, although we had legends and proven professionals such as Denis Tuert, Alan Sunderland, Neil Mc Nab, and David Kelly, none of them could do what he did.

Worst: Andy Moran, who we had on Loan from tranmere for a season (last spotted playing for Rhyl.

[superfrank]

The worst as in I think he was the worst personality at the club, etc. He is an alright player but I really don't like him.

Worst player (ability-wise):I honestly don't know

[Roo69]

How many times did you see him play for Bray ? probably about as many times as us, he was never on the pitch long enough for us to rate him, ALWAYS on the treatment table, cost us a fortune having him at the club and he gave us virtually nothing in return, then left us in the lurch after the club had been so good to him.

[gustavo]

Best :Raf Cretaro
Worst : Gareth Gorman.

[superfrank]

what did he do to you :confused:
He's disloyal, you've been warned.

I'm not 100% sure of the facts but I've heard that he was player/assistant manager and Bohs offered him a deal and he left quicker than you can say Judas.

[De Town]

ah well, if he keeps scoring winners in cup finals i dont really care :p

[1 9 2 8]

Same as red til dead
Best:Liam Burns
Worst: Gareth Gorman

[GavinZac]

best: patsy freyne

worst: micky buckley :D or, if we only count someone who's played more than 10 minutes of football, colin p o'brien. hid first few games he was declared the new pele but after that he did nothing. well, maybe ger dobbs was worse, but he fooled us into thinking he was a striker when he was clearly a right back :D

[Maynard]

1st Division: Best - Sweat McGauley
Worst - Alan O'Connor

Premier Division: Best - Gary O'Neill
Worst - Efan Ekoku/Marc Kenny...take your pick :rolleyes:

[Colm]

For Cork City....

Best: Pat Morley (soon to be eclipsed by Georgie?)

Worst: It's too hard to say, there have been so many useless guys over the years who may have only played a game or two. I think it's absolutely ridiculous to say Liam O'Brien. Fair enough, he wasn't great and didn't live up to his hype or past glory but to label the worst ever is a bit much.

[sligoman]

Sligo Rovers:
Best: Liam Burns
Worst: Gareth Gorman

best:liam burns
worst:who else gareth gorman

Same as red til dead
Best:Liam Burns
Worst: Gareth Gorman
Looks like we're all along the same lines then :D

[Anto McC]

Best: Shero
Worst:Junkie Molloy

[CollegeTillIDie]

Best: past :Ken "Legend" O'Doherty Current: There's only one Tony Mc

Worst: Brian "Stretch" Dunne 0+3 sub appearances... He had pace but could not kick a ball ... 3 sub appearances too many (1979/80 season for those not in the know)

[Sheridan]

1st Division: Best - Sweat McGauley
Worst - Alan O'Connor
AO'C worse than Andy Noonan? :eek: :confused:

Worst: Well, Marc Kenny lacked it all - fitness, a professional attitude, determination - and was a unreconstructed Rovers c*nt to boot. Efan Ekoku, the Nigerian Trevor Vaughan (had that same "I'd rather be anywhere but on this pitch right now" aura about him) looked a class act for the first ten minutes of his début (which doubled as his penultimate appearance), so that rules him out. But my vote has to go to Pierre Ennis. His performance against St. Pat's at Tolka Park was the most spectacular display of ineptitude I've ever seen at any level of professional sport.

Best: Gary O'Neill.

Worst XI:
John Browne
Pierre Ennis, Ronnie Henry, Scott Friel, Paul Courtney
Keith Maher, Pat Deans, Marc Kenny, Gavin Doyle
Peter Hynes, Efan Ekoku.

Bit harsh on Mahersy, who never realised his enormous potential as a striker. But a disaster on the right wing.

Best XI:
Brendan Kennedy
Toccy O'Connor, Thomas McGauley, Ben Whelehan, Wes Byrne
Cottsy O'Connor, Paul Crowley, Barry Burke, Killian Brennan
Gary O'Neill, Robbie Farrell (trust me, he was class until about October 2003.)

[dfx-]

Best: Eccles/Brazil/Cousins
Worst: Gough/Sherlock/Kenny

League:
Best: Liam Coyle
Worst: I couldn't possibly know..

[pineapple stu]

Best - Tony McDonnell. Barry Ryan not far off.
Worst - Barry Andrews. Good God!

Second (and distant!) worst - take your pick. We've had so many, it's not funny. Try Ken Kilmurray, Glen Fitzpatrick, Greg O'Dowd, Andy Noonan, Mark Rooney, Niall Donnelly, Alan Gallen...

[Ringo]

Best XI:
Cottsy O'Connor, Robbie Farrell (trust me, he was class until about October 2003.)

I think you've your rose coloured specs on! cottsy was a bit hit & miss, Robbie was lazy, he could have been great.

[Comic Book Guy]

Cobh Ramblers

Best: Steve Yelverton
Worst: Gareth O'Donovan

[tiktok]

What a clown. He might have been **** for youse, but he's certainly not one of the worst players to play in the League.:rolleyes:



Idiot :rolleyes:

Attack the posts and all that. :rolleyes:

Liam O'Brien IMO is the worst player to pull on a Cork City shirt, I absolutely stand by that. He was a former international with bags of experience of top flight football, he was still fit and should have been one of City's best players after he arrived.

Instead he was a lazy, ineffective waste of our collective time and money.

He's the worst player IMO because he was the biggest waste of talent I've seen in my time as a City fan. Sure we've had players who've been technically poorer, but I can't think of a single other player who cared so little about the club he was representing. He didn't give a fcuk, and to me there's no worse trait, I can handle lack of talent if the player tries.

I'll grant you there may have been worse players for other clubs, (I'm sure DCFC fans would feel the same about Efan Ekoku for example) but in my experience he's the biggest disappointment, the biggest waste of money and the laziest player I've had the misfortune to pay money to see in the years and years I've been attending LOI matches.

If you disagree, fine, but leave the idiot crap somewhere else, such intelligent responses just make it look like 'pot calling kettle black' :rolleyes:

[BrayZil]

Best: John Walsh, Maurice Farrell, Dermot Judge

Worst: Thomas Morgan, Eddie Van Boxtel

[Dee75]

Best: Liam Coyle (Obviously)
Worst: Mark Ennis. Scored loads for Pats and came to Derry and scored one or two(!! :mad: )

[patsh]

* sheridan, you're not pepsi from the old eircom league board are you?
Wot?
Like Pepsi and Sher(l)i?:p

[tiktok]

QED.
You claimed he was the worst player ever in the league but conceed other clubs may have had other worse players. :rolleyes:

Yeah, of course, may have had worse players, I haven't seen and rated every player at every club in the history of LOI. Of the players I know, Liam O'Brien is, IMO, the worst.

Anyway, I've laid out my reasons for my opinion that O'Brien is the worst EL player I've seen. I stand by it.
It's only an opinion, you're welcome to your own.

[KK77]

How many times did you see him play for Bray ? probably about as many times as us, he was never on the pitch long enough for us to rate him, ALWAYS on the treatment table, cost us a fortune having him at the club and he gave us virtually nothing in return, then left us in the lurch after the club had been so good to him.

Didn't realise around 2001 he was on the treatment table more than the pitch funny how he got such good reviews from the treatment table as i seem to remember him scoring a fair few for us and how highly rated he was at the time and how much he brought to the team i even remember Dermot Keely being interviewed and saying he wouldn't have been one he rated before he went to the States but how he proved him wrong so he must have played a few games well the Keegan i watched certainly did.

As regards leaving Bray i don't see how anyone could blame him he got a better offer to play with a full time team and i think he was proved right in the end he won a league medal and two cup medals since then. I think a lot of people have a go at him because they couldn't accept he wanted to leave to further his career.
I think a lot of it is a bit rich as 99% of players would have done the same if we are being honest.

To say he brought nothing is a bit much sure he improved the team no end but then some people may have only really started going regularly to the games recently so they wouldn't really know much about his time at Bray.

Just out of interested did Devo and certain players not leave the club over the years to further their careers????

Paul Keegan as a player did ok for Bray. But you don't know the half of it! He's an absolute s**m bag! We paid a hell of a lot of money for him to go to the states and get treatment on his knee among other things and then he totally stabbed Bray and Devo in the back. He signed for Bohs before even having the decency to tell Devo. Totally took us for a mug. He's doesn’t care about anyone and is only out for what he can get! Judas!

[superfrank]

Yeah but at least they came back and it's not as if they were relatively new signings.

I assume you are reffering to Doohan, Gormley, Charles, etc.

Galway United:

Best - Any of Kevin Cassidy, Richie Blackmore, Denis Bonner, Larry Wyse, Tommy Keane, Gerry Mullan and Paul McGee.

[ok showing that I've not been to many matches in the last few years or the first few years]

Worst - Where to start ... Mickey McLaughlin (though maybe unfair as I'm to you to remember his earlier years); Neville Steedman; Pa Dunne

And again, some of the drivel I've witnessed at Terryland in the last few trips back home might be unfair on players as I've only seen them at most twice in a season.
