The obvious ones for me.

City player - Dave Barry

Other Clubs - Liam Coyle

Pats - hard to call, but Ozo just shades it for me ahead of Eddie.

Others - Liam Coyle was always the one opposition player that absolutely terrified me, which is as good an indication of any of pure talent.

Is favourite different to the BEST? Coz if it isn't, I don't understand why Liam Coyle only gets 5 votes.

For what its worth i though about putting him down ... it is a hard question in all fairness, .... i think it is a very hard call to be honest.

Liam O 'Brien in his prime for Shamrock Rovers..absolutely fantastic!

George O 'Callaghan..legend!

Liam Coyle......

Im only happy I was able to witness him play through his entire career, right up to his very last goal in his very last match to relegate Finn Harps. Classic end to a career.

Rovers players - Tony Cousins, Gino Brazil, Peter Eccles, Trevor Molloy.

Non-Rovers - Tony Sheridan, Liam Coyle, Paul Osam.

**The Donie Forde** · 29/01/2005, 12:43 PM

Ben Hannigan and Paddy Shortt.

Anyone too young to remember them, you can't even begin to imagine what you missed...

I went to my first League of Ireland game back in 1972
goalkeeper defender striker
Ok past players ( pre-1979) Richie Blackmore, Al Finucane, Brendan Bradley
Turlough O'Connor. The last two were the top two goalscorers in history until very recently. Bradley is still the leading scorer but I think Pat Morley has eclipsed Turlie.
goalkeeper defender Attackers
U.C.D. players ( past) Alan O'Neill, Ken O'Doherty, Darren O'Brien and Mick O'Byrne

Other clubs too many to name in one short posting.
Pat Morley would definitely be up there in the strikers category

The last goal i saw him score (i think it was Rovers, not sure though, it was day time game) and it was a cluttered box and the ball could have gone anyway and did, Coyle turned underneath the ball and kicked it over head into the corner the keeper wasnt in. I'm not describing that very well but it was a total reaction/instinctive goal, brilliant stuff ..... you'd have to have seen it, great goal !!
