Livingstone was awesome. Wes Charles is also a favourite of mine. Pure legend.

Charles was a bit of an animal... Remember him slamming one of our players into the concrete wall surround the pitch in Bray at one stage.... Ndo has talent yeah, but a lousy attitude... And good old Livingston... What a player...

I'm sorry but I don't rate Ndo at all at all at all! He has scored around 20 goals in his career! I haven't really seen him play, but going on his goalscoring record he is poor and thats all anyone will remember him for.

He claims he has never even been to Dublin.

Avery John John John.

Mindaugas Kalonas. Probably the best single season ever of any non british player.

Him or Pascal Vaudequin...

Pats had a couple in 2003, but only one played in the league Luis Saccillito (spelling isdefinitely wrong there)

FOr me the answer is Charles Mbabazi Livingstone. Streets ahead of Ndo IMO. You only have to look at how far Pats dropped when he was forced to retire.

Ryan Guy, maybe Pats fans know better, but he seems like a hard worker and scores goals.

Wes Charles was one tough cookie!

does work hard and super nice fella, but Charlie for me. you could watch him all day, he was brilliant, really hope he comes back one day, really nice bloke
glad he is back playing ball after what happened

Where is Charles now, is he in the States or Canada? I saw him playing for Bray a few times and always wondered why he didn't step up into a higher league than ours, and then he went to Russia and the only thing I heard about that adventure was he was racially abused. Always seemed to be right on the edge.

Ndo good player but not best overseas player at Bohs never mind League. Kalounus in recent years made an impact at Dalymount, Avery John had a few good seasons in the league (Bohs and Longford). Like (most) Pats fans I would rate Livingstone highly, unlike (many)Pats fans I rate Ryan Guy a very good player - in fairness I dont see as much of him as they do.
Bohs new Zealand experiment was not a success. Most of the players were poor except Raf Di Georgio who looked good and went on to play in Europe.

Clubless per wikipedia. Must say I never rated him at all.

Skippy!

Yea never a fan either to be honest. Absolutely no pace whatsoever. Big lad and very hard tackler but nothing special as a defender and certainly not a contender for any "best overseas player" accolade.

Damien Dupie Galway United!!! French Lad up front.Bit of a d.i.y but was exciting to watch

When he first joined us around 98 he had pace to burn tbf and he was outstanding in pretty much every game for us.

Good solid (emphasis on solid) defender but never appeared to me to have much pace, may be focused more on his latter career to be fair.

You haven't seen him play yet you don't rate him?
What an utterly ridiculous comment to make.
His goalscoring record is not very relevant. He is a midfielder. If he was a striker I would take your point.
Himself and Killian Brennan played the best football i have ever seen in this league for Bohs last year in the showgrounds. Absolute quality the two of them that night.
