Very quiet here lately so I'll see if I can attract a bit of interest. Who do the Rams fans consider their greatest eleven? I'll put some names down for a squad but I'm sure some will not deserve to be there and people can add to it if they like because I'm sure to leave out plenty of worthy candidates. You can just pick what you consider to be your best 11. There are plenty that I'm a little hazy about so maybe Eddie and the rest of you could help me out when you log on next!
My memory only goes back to circa '83 and I haven't seen a lot of the teams over the last few years so I won't include anyone I haven't seen a lot of.
Off the top of my head:
GOALKEEPERS
Paul Keating, Alec Ludzic, Mick Devine, Stephen Henderson.
DEFENDERS
Eddie O' Halloran, Packie Kelly, George Mellerick, Philip Long, Paul Bannon, George Wilshaw, Kenny O' Rourke.
MIDFIELDERS
John O' Rourke, Paul Crowley, Paddy Shortt, Fergus McDaid, Mark Clifford, Stephen Yelverton.
FORWARDS
Frank O' Neil, Willie Bruton, Sean Francis, Kieran O' Reilly, Bob O' Donovan
Obviously these are just suggestions so please add to or shoot down any that I've said!!

Forgot about players like Tony Neiland, Jason Lynch and Terry Kearns. All worthy candidates. Left Roy Keane out of it because he only played 1 season really.

You would say that!
Good player from what I remember, don't know if he'd make a Greatest XI though. Some of the "older" lads might have a better idea.
