QuoteOn a related point, would every county be able to name an XI?
What county would have the best XI. Players must be born in the county and must of played LOI e.g Waterford would not be allowed John O Shea but Wexford can use Kevin Doyle.
Maybe pick your counties best XI from 1990-Present
I'll go with 4-3-3
Waterford:
GK: Brian Murphy
RB: John Hayes
CB: Kenny Browne
CB: David Breen
LB: John Frost
RCM: Alan Kirby
CM: John "Chilli" Power
LCM: Shane Robinson
FW: Daryl Murphy
FW: Noel Hunt
FW: Paschal "Snackbox" Keane

Hanley
Keane Sinnott Hawkins Davo
Russell Seamie Foley O'Donnell
Faherty Molloy

It's a bit strange to call the thread 'Hometown XI' if it's based on counties and not towns.
Sorry but he should only be allowed play for his REAL hometown club.Originally Posted by **FrOsTy**

Clubs should be encouraged to have more players from there town/county,this would make for better future Ireland players and a good sense of pride within clubs.

Ricky O'Flaherty??
Here on a technicality.
you must of just picked current home town team still playing because only hawkins is the only player who would make that team and daveron isnt from galway in afraid he's from offaly
galway best 11 would be
hawkins chick deacy stephen lally
herrick mernagh
Devine
Horgan Daly Bennett Delaney
Keane Healy Freyne
O'Callaghan
O'Flynn O' Donovan
Based on players I've seen since '98 with one obvious exception, Joe Gamble for the token Queenstown man otherwise.
A man can have no greater love than give 90 minutes for his friends.
you must of picked current 11 still playing because hawkins is the only one who would make the team and davo isnt from galway

Didn't go to UCD I think. Could well be wrong, but that's my suspicion.
Tony went to DCU afaik.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Thats a big problem in the league, such is the number of journeymen players, very often its hard to identify with players who move after a season and are only there to pick up wages..

Davoren was born in Balinasloe, Co Galway.
I wouldn't have him in my best eleven.
Of the XI ttat you chose, only Hawkins never played for Galway United.
Nobody knows us, we don't care
