    What? Owen Heary is the most accomplished defender I have ever seen in this league.

    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.
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    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.

    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.

    Bohs games must be awful boring for you if yer watching Heary the whole game.
    Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.

    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

    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!
