I've two issues with you there:
1. Not all eL clubs. Only premier clubs.
2. When did us fans vote for this? I certainly never voted.

Always easier to pick the best as worst could have only played a few minutes.

Can't argue with City selection, Dave Barry a legend & Liam O'Brien worst high profile player.

Moronic.

Dave Tilson Bohs' best ever player? I don't think so.

Liam O'Brien Cork City's worst ever player? I don't think so.

They must have gotten some cabbages to vote.

Jesus would you relax ! right - PREMIER DIVISION CLUBS ONLY
did i vote for it either? no, as im sure many of the lads on here didnt, just re-writing what they sent to print

To quote the herald:

"To discover the best and worst nof Irelands top clubs we amassed a nationwide panel of experts from fans to make ther nominstions"

I wonder what fans they asked about this. I heard nothing, did they ask supporters' clubs or other fans' groups? I can't imagine too many UCD fans voting Robbie Dunne as our worst ever player.

Jason Kabia the worst ever to play for Waterford? He played for Cork too so I guess the standard in Waaaaterford is a lot higher than City.....

The best player ever to play for Limerick was apparently Andy McEvoy (for old lads) but in "recent" times I suppose it would Eoin Hand. The worst was a lad I saw in United Park a few years ago and hadn't seen before and haven't seen since. He came on for about 30 minutes and he was so bad I reckoned he had driven the bus up and was promised a game. :D

Bohs best ever, Kevin Hunt. Worst ever, although he was recent I think that Jimmy Aggrey really was the worst player that I have ever seen.

A fan from each club was asked to put a piece together - I did the Harps one. Had actually forgotten about it until now.

Unfair!
Jimmy scored against the shams ;) when no one else could even land one on target for us. And he scored more than Glen Crowe! :D

Would agree with O'Brien as our worst- talented he may have been, but he was awful and so, so lazy

couldnt argue with Digger being the best and that german fcuker being the worst....did 1 good thing in his town career, came off the bench on his debut to equalise up in Derry......after that, it was all down hill :mad:

Fitzpatrick; Nolan, Nodwell, O'Mahoney,Storan; Hand, Duggan, Hulmes, Walsh; Kennedy, Matthews. Subs: Meaney for Hand; Morris for Duggan :D

I see that Hand was substituted in that team you selected, therfore he wasn't irreplacable. Surely your best player beyond any doubt was Al Finucane, he was just entering his prime when he hit 40.http://foot.ie/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=315638#

Yes, Al Finucane would be a candidate. Not only was Hand substituted that day (when we almost beat Real Madrid) - but he was player-manager. So in effect he substituted himself. Modest as well.... :)

That is without the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Liamo the worst player for cork? :mad: I have been travelling down there for 15 years to see the Hoops and during the bishopstown days you had some absolute appalling players that were flown every week.

Also saw Liamo in his prime and play for his country and when he played against us for cork he stood out as the classiest player ye had.

Someone else here says he was lazy. So was Tony Sheridan and Mark Kenny but it certainly does not mean they were the worst players to wear their clubs jersies.

Saw the bit at the end saying that he was a "jackeen". Yeah thats a good reason :rolleyes:

Liam O'Brien worse than Jason Kabia. Hmmmmm. :)

Kabia was lucky only to be included once, he could easy have overtaken Liam O'Brien.

The simple fact is that he was paid a lot of money and he didn't perform. That makes him the worst in my book, and there's a lot of people who'd agree on that.
