The Leader had a good article in Monday's paper where Dolans Pub are sposoring a Team of the Decade.
It's repeated on limericksoccer.com for anyone who missed it.
For starters my team would be
Ian Bennis, Dave Dunphy, Keith Fitzgerald, Tom Daly, Brian Buckley, Albert Slattery, Jason Purcell, Keith Hartnett, Alan Finucane, Alan Barry, Robert Earls

surely gordon stewart must be everyone keeper gordon was the best around for many years
what is being sponsored?
'You should never have a bad game, off the ball.......'
I read the article and just for arguments sake here my thoughts
Gordon Stewart or Eoin Lynch
David Dunphy / Mike Ahern / Dara Droog
Declan Considine or Pat McGarry
Colm Enright
Brian Buckley
Keith Hartnett
Alan O Keefe / Colm Heffernan / Dennis Whelan
Kevin McCarthy / Albert Slattery - Kevin didnt play much in decade
Jason Purcell
Rob Earls
Conor Lynch / Alan Barry
Bound to be plenty of others but thats my immediate thoughts
your dead right,albert has to be in there too,he might not of won much but he stuck with Carew when bigger clubs were after him,a real clubmanian bennis
surely gordon stewart must be everyone keeper gordon was the best around for many years

team of the decade
1.G Stewart
2.M Aherne
3.A Sheehan
4.P McGarry
5.C Enright
6.K Hartnett
7.A O'Keeffe
8.J Purcell
9.J O'Connor
10.A Barry
11.R Earls
4-3-3 system, couldnt seperate the front 3, their records in the Leader are exceptional
EVERYTHING is black and white
Thats just textbook................
1.G Stewart keeper
2.M Aherne Right Full
3.A Sheehan Left Full
4.Gareth Ryan Sweeper
5.C Enright Center half
6.B.Lawlor wide right
7.Alan Carroll Attacking Mid-field
8.J Purcell Holding Mid-field
9.J O'Connor Striker
10.A Barry striker
11.C.Heffernan wide left
two fulls and two wide players among the best crosser's of a ball you might ever see
two strikers would have a field day.J.Purcell could protect back four with a.carroll going box - box

sick of narcissists.....
Kevin did win 3 FAIs though
Very difficult to do but players i feel have to be on the team would be Jason Purcell(Captain),Brian Buckley,Colm Enright,Alan Sheehan and Jason O Connor.
How do we threat players Like Colm Heffernan who is probably the best winger to play in that period of time but he spent the majority of the decade playing league of Ireland football.Also the likes of Tommy Barrett

5 subs brain buckley, alan barry, kevin mcarthy, keith hartnett, eoin lynch gk,
Yeah i agree with you on that, it does say on the paper though that everything is considered whether the players won something or nothing or things like that. Agree with you about Heffernan, same too with Ross Cosgrave, good wingers and Tommy too, i'm sure they will all be considered equally. Its a good idea though this team of the decade and everyone has different names and ideas and one i just see mentioned there is Gareth Ryan, didn't even think of him but would definately figure. Its easy mention guys that won trophies and are household names but there are plenty of players who have played throughout the last ten years and never get their rewards, i suppose players like Robert Dalton, Phillip Collopy, Billy Tynan, just players like that
It would be interesting to see the people post their own teams of the decade for their own particular clubs and produce a final squad from them lists.
