Favourite Irish Player

**Jicked** · 04/04/2009, 9:52 AM

He's resigned himself already to never getting a game under Trap? Hardly an incredible attitude. Hoepfully if we qualify then Trap will take up another 2 years to take us through to the Euros, otherwise Tardelli could come in and take over along with Brady for some continuity which would be nice. Poor old St Ledger.

Whereabouts in Ireland are you from doc?

**Delbertt** · 04/04/2009, 12:09 PM

Keane and Dunne also O'shea is making his way up there too, great to have a versatile player like him in ur team

**superfrank** · 04/04/2009, 12:16 PM

Favourite international: Brady (all-time), Duff and Given.
Favourite Irish player: Colm Tresson. Legend.

So you posted on a Favourite Irish Player thread to say you don't have one. That was worthwhile...

James McCarthy, purely because of the amount of stick he gets for picking Ireland and how mature he seems for his age.

**Noelys Guitar** · 04/04/2009, 3:25 PM

ATM Kevin Doyle. All time McGrath, Giles, Brady and Roy Keane.

**John83** · 05/04/2009, 1:36 AM

Past might be Kevin Moran, though it's hard to discount McGrath. I'm too young to remember Brady playing, though he sounds like someone I'd have adored watching.

Present would be Duff.

**danonion** · 05/04/2009, 2:17 AM

Current squad: Keane, O'Shea and Dean Kiely and Kevin Kilbane

Past is too many to pick from: Breen, Cunningham, Harte, Sheridan, Townsend, McGrath and Terry Phelan spring to mind.

Kevin Kilbane away to france. what a lord!

Have a day off! besides, haven't you got a village to go back to?

So what he supposed to do? He's playing well and is a far superior player than the likes of Mc Shane and Bruce, but Trapp keeps picking thm instead.

I say every credit for him, for not taking the easy option and taking up NI's offer choosing instead to keep working hard in a hope of getting the call from the Republic.

God forbid, Brady or Tardelli taking over as the only the only Euro's we will qualify for is the song contest!

I somehow forgot Kilbane.....a real example to all for effort modesty and commitment

**sullanefc** · 05/04/2009, 12:41 PM

Kevin Doyle, trojan worker and a nice guy.

**BigmanCas** · 05/04/2009, 2:26 PM

Favourite Irish Player - Shay Given

Most talented outfield player - Aiden Mc Geady

**Greenbod** · 05/04/2009, 7:51 PM

Currently: Kilbane

Past: Moran, Staunton and McGrath.

Distant past!!: Giles and Heighway

**Manc Irish Wolf** · 05/04/2009, 10:32 PM

Current squad would be Doyler for his persistent running and Stephen Reid for his power and talent which has sadly never been fully realised.

All time favourite players not so much based on talent but commitment to the cause and memories from my youth. McAteer for his relentless running as Wing Back in USA 94, Townsend for giving his all and the way he puffed his chest out with pride after banging in his penalty against Romania and Big Mick for kicking Lineker in to the stand after about 10 minutes of the most intense 90 minutes of my life, before turning round to Jack with a wink and a massive grin. Legend.

**Mcgeady46** · 05/04/2009, 11:36 PM

between Doyle and McGeady

**Razors left peg** · 06/04/2009, 4:29 PM

All Time would be Roy Keane
Of the current players its harder to choose, Doyler, Steven Reid or Andy Reid I think

**Uncle_Joe** · 06/04/2009, 4:42 PM

From the current squad it Richard Dunne for me. his improvement over the last 6 years is a credit to himself ( Also well done to Keegan for sorting him out)

For an all time great its got to be McGrath

**jay1** · 07/04/2009, 6:27 PM

stephen hunt.

**SilkCut** · 08/04/2009, 8:39 AM

All time Kevin Moran, he used to put his head in places most players would not put a boot!! Awesome awesome awesome player.

**thepiedpiper** · 08/04/2009, 9:40 AM

Current - McGeady. Amount of vile sectarian bigotry he has gotten because he has chosen to play for us the team he always supported has been unreal.

All Time - Aldridge. Fantastic attitude, fantastic player
