defo packie kelly a loi legend
Has to be Hagi, the one and only Eddie Gormley
Patsy Freyne for me.
I bet Georgie boy gets the most votes on this.
Can only vote for someone I saw play.
Dave Barry - Bayern Munich & Effenburg (even non-LOI fans know that one), Galatasaray, League winner, Cup as player & manager.
For Limerick I picked Kevin Fitzpatrick. 22 years of service, capped for Ireland and always loyal to the club. Great keeper.
for the league in general I'd say
Paddy Coad.
Notable mentions
~Brendan Bradley, Tony Fagan, Carl Davenport, Florrie Burke, Peter Thomas, alfie Hale, johnny Matthews, John O'Neill, Turlough O'connor, Ronnie Whelan snr, Jimmy Hasty, Jimmy Dunne, Barry Kehoe, Frank O'Neill, Paddy ambrose, and apologies for forgetting countless more.
Well, ye've only 30 or so down there, The Man Himself tells me, and we've got a few more up here, so I reckon we might actually total 70 odd. :DQuote:

Two choices from Dundalk, The late, great Barry Kehoe for his sheer energy and skill, never seen the like since.
But the vote would have to go to Tommy McConnville, 3 lges and 3 cups with Dundalk, also 6 full caps i think, and he played with the great Waterford side in the early 70`s for a season or two also.
A true legend.
Has everyone entered this yet? Its actually great that RTE are doing something like this. Doesn't take the long people, take five minutes out and rattle something off.
They have "Al Finucane - Waterford" :confused:. To me he is a Limerick player. I don't even remember him playing for Waterford. I always remember his phrase "Some people would cuts their arms off to get their hands on the Cup" :D.
Stephen Geoghegan and Tony Sheridan for me. Loved watching Liam Coyle and Gino Brazil too.Gino was top quality and an absolute gentleman off the pitch too
Al won the Cup with the Blues in 1980 sure. And he played against Bordeaux in '86. Oldest player in the European Cup I think.Quote:

Liam Coyle by a mile !!!!!
Eric Lavine for Longford but former Bohs and Man Utd player Mick Martin for the greatest of all time.
Having Doyler in there is a bit of a joke.
He wasn't with us a wet week.
Deccie Daly, Patsy Freyne or Davey Barry are the true City legends
Gerry Carr for me
Dave is a living legend but I don't think he won a Cup as a player, just a manager.Quote:

Paul Perth deserves a mention, just for his come back from the gear.
