2.patsy
3.davy b
4.morley
5.biscuits
6.deccie

current crop do not earn legend status until they retire as they are or current idols.

Some players are obviously better than others e.g John O Flynn ahead of Ginger Healy.But i remember many of Gingers goals at the X and he was one of my first City heroes.I will name a few that i thought were Citys best..

Deccie Daly,Johnny C,Patsy Freyne,Pat Morley,Paul Bannon,Gerry Mc Cabe,Dave Barry,Dave Hill,Stephen Napier,Colin T O Brien,Ollie Cahill,Georgie Callaghan,Flynny,Billy Woods(in his prime great player)..

Out of them all in my opinion i think Dave Hill was the best City player of all.If City were losing he would drag us back into the game almost on his own.In his prime he had it all.Passing,Vision and a huge heart..

Outside league of Ireland the best Cork player hands down is Roy Keane..

I believe you dumped a guys post theother day for making a similar statement Eanna. Double standards???

On topic, Dave Barry was the best. No one comes even close.

the difference of course being that morrison really is english and really is a useless *****

I have no problem with morrison being english, its the fact that he pretends to be irish in order to get caps that bugs me

Harrington the former goalie. Legend as well.

Dave Wigginton - "Wiggy" - Cork Hibs in the 70's - a class act.

Not forgetting Miah Dennihey - [Cup final hat-trick for Hibs against Waterford].

or maybe .... George Best - played a few games for Cork Celtic.

...Dave Waters and Charlie McCarthy for Cork Untied in the 80's [average attendance at the box 62].

...more recently...Tommy Gaynor, Dave Barry, John Caulfield, Pat Morley and Biscuits for City.

..currently...Mick Devine....the rest....too early to tell ...

Gloria ?
I must disagree.
He showed touches of the genius he possessed but all too infrequently for my liking. Never in the legend category.

**UsherUsher** · 30/09/2004, 3:48 PM

)
3. Dave Barry

**A face** · 21/10/2004, 2:26 PM

Past and present included !!

Name the top five all-time greatest players and maybe two or three honourable mentions !!

* Thought there was a thread on this but cant find it right now.

First one up

1. Pat Morley

**Colm** · 21/10/2004, 2:30 PM

Best of all time....
Pat Morley or Georgie

Honourable mentions for Dave Barry and Patsy Freyne.

Give Doyler a year or two and he'll be on that list aswell.
