Shane Curran is one goalkeeper I'd love to give a good steaver to the ******.

No Charlie McCormack or Paul "Flash" Brogan?
The first LOI game I ever went to was Shamrock Rovers vs Sligo Rovers around '78 or'79. The keepers were Alan O'Neill and Alan Patterson. I'm not sure I've seen two better keepers ever in the LOI. Jody Byrne was a lynchpin of McLaughlin's great Rovers side but was never a patc on O'Neill. Richie Blackmore of Dundalk was great, and a mean guitarist too even if he is now some sort of weird wizard or something.
The best keeper's I have seen play in the LOI are listed below;
1. Richie Blockmore
2. Alan O'Neill
3. Dave Henderson
The most under rated keeper is former GUFC goalkeeper David Forde, now 1st choice at Millwall, Trap should give him a chance with Irish team as his a much better goalkeeper than that Westwood guy, Nicky Colgan and the youngest of the Henderson goalkeeping clan Wayne.
I will never forget Alan O'Neill one day in the RDS for Dundalk. He was amazing, musta saved about 6 or 7 point black one on ones from Derek Swan. Rovers dominated the match, Dundalk sneaked a goal on the break and O'Neill ensured they got the 3 points. An outstanding display of goal keeping. Treacy signed him back for Rovers at the end of that season.

Dermot O'Neill, legend.
