Actually i just realised your right, you better hury up and tell Pat Fenlon because for some strange reason he has had him as his captain for the back to back champions

Bit unfair on Gamble, missed half the season with a serious injury which also hampered him in most games he played.

Agree about Stevie Sideways, waste of space.

Seamus Coleman was a by far better wing back, and Gavin Peers is a better defender. Add in Dan Murray and others and you see your statement is pure tosh.

anyone who cannot see how good Owen Heary is as a player and leader knows absolutely nothing about football in my opinion.

Saying that Owen Heary is a bad player is just.... nuts. He's getting on a bit, obviously, but he'd still be first choice RB for 9 out of 10 teams in the league.

Have to disagree with the Rovers lads here. Owen Heary is a class footballer. Fortunately for us, he didn't play against us much (if at all, can't be bothered checking either) this season.

He is class, but there is/was better defenders in the league imo.

I'm in no way saying that Heary is a bad defender, but the above are better.

none of those are right backs?

oh, and medals on the table please.

I'm not starting an arguement of who is better than who, but your medals arguement:

Heary: 33
Peers: 24
Coleman:21

Plus, Peers did play RB in his first season.Seamie is a RB and I'd expect to break into the Ireland squad in the next year.

Consistent performances in title-winning teams over a number of seasons?

My outstanding memory of Heary is from the cup semi final last year, he was brilliant(the *******) nothing got by him he won every header and led the backline from right back, how you can say he is not a good defender baffles me

Heary is probably the best player ever to don a Shels jersey. And you know, we were quite good back in the day ;)

There were a lot of players who contributed a lot to that team, especially Ndo, Hoolahan, Jason Byrne, Glen Crowe etc...

Not sure about best ever but certainly up at the top

N'Do was one of the best players in a league winning team and McGuniness was one of the best performers until he got an injury and then missed the rest of the season, how you can say they underperformed baffles me :confused:

---

I did say it was controversial, Iv picked McGuinness on the basis of his rascism moment and I actually dont agree with Ndo being one of the best this season, dont rate him at all!
