. As I said that was a first bash at best X1 and I could probobly do a second X1 almost as good (although I would fancy that X1 against most).
Whelan Jnr played for Home Farm, Senior played (mostly) for Pats
A few older Pats fans still talk about McGrath's debut for Pats (at centre forward) and how he quickly showed he was head and shoulders above the rest of them

"Even if the wind stops to blow
Even if the sea ceases to flow
Even if the sun ceases to rise
The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning star glittering in the sky."
No Bias then!
Thats why I asked people for their best teams in YOUR time following the league
CTIL, you certainly did, I missed that, apologies. So these teams will be biased towards home fans as you will have seen these playes the most.
Mine, and I set a standard of having at least 2 league titles for each player, Paul McGrath the exception for his Ireland legendary displays. Very sad to note two of these are now dead , Barry Kehoe and Jackie Jameson (sub)

Eoin Heary (Shels & Bohs present)

#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
This is my team.
1998 is about the time I took an interest.

Yeah man, they call gambling a disease, but it's the only disease where you can win a bunch of money.
I can never remember if him or Morley were better. All I remember for Caulfield is "Goal scored for Cork by number 11 John Caulfield"
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.
In my time, possibly last 10-11 years.

Springing J Speak from the bench?
Hard to pick really but (maybe biased n all) Johnny Speak and John Minnock Snr and Jnr really deserve a mention.
Georgie O'Callaghan on his day was a wonderful player, had he behaved in a professional manner all his career, Im sure most folk on here would have him in their 11.
In fairness he probably wouldn't have been playing in the LOI if he behaved and acted professionally, he would be at a far higher level
Am I the only one who'd have Charlles Mbabazi Livingstone in their team?
No

Blackmore also played for Galway United for a few seasons in the mid to late 1980's. He was the best keeper we ever had IMO.
Also, I never knew Jackie Jameson played for Pat's. He was an outstanding player. RIP
Nobody knows us, we don't care
the only one with wes hoolahan on the team, i thought he was one of the most gifted (and constistant) technical players in the league ive seen..
the best ever LOI XI?
I believe it looked something like this
