I will probobly have about 5 changes by tomorrow but fun thinking about it.
Pat Byrne is the best player of the last 30 years in the league, I'm sure not even the bitterest Gypo would deny that. As for the rest these threads just become a popularity contest for fans' own players. Heary should be on everyone's team unless you've only started to watch LOI the last couple of seasons. It's funny when you look at some of the forwards people put in instead of Twigg. Anyhow, Buckley and Jameson were a class of their own!
False hope is worse than no hope. Ask Sligo.
OMG !!!!!! I am in agreement with almost all of your post Hoopy (Pat Byrne in his Bohs days of course). Bucko would have made it as next on bench (went for versitility of Jameson). Too early to talk about Twigg in "all time" context although he may be in future.
If Bohs/shams are agreeing on things this thread should be locked now its just not right.
The Model Club
Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.

Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
He is best keeper I have ever seen in the league.
2 of the stand out performances for me over the last 10 years have been Brian Murphy in Derry when he single handidly got us a valuable point and Keith Fahey's performance in the second half of a cup semi final in Inchicore a couple of years ago. We were 3 up at half time and just managed to hold on after Fahery destroyed us in second half.
Hunt is a definate for anyone's team as well.
Cork somebody-or-other and Home Farm.
Probably put McGrath in for Sives. Tight call though.
