Best Irish Players Ever

[Sullivinho]

I'd have had Shay higher placed as well as one or two others over the course of the feature but our top 5's are perfectly in sync.

Cheers to Greenscene and AlaskaFox for a very interesting and entertaining read, looking forward to more.

At nr. 40 Terry Phelan “Is he the fastest Irish player ever?”

Is he? Was Terry's speed ever clocked? I'd say Steve Heighway was the fastest ever, he was so fast that his feet didn't even touch the ground.

Fair play for the effort Alaska, excellent stuff.

Now everyone own up - who voted for Phil Babb?

Surely Alan O'Brien was the fastest ever? Shame about the rest of his game though.

Quite a few. And one very highly.

There were a few "spoiled" votes, but I don't think anyone had Ronnie.
