Mine would have to be George O'Callaghan from cork city... great player!
Im a little suprised noone has mentioned ol paddy mccourt yet..

**terry9** · 07/07/2005, 4:37 PM

paddy mccourt..

**jorge** · 07/07/2005, 4:47 PM

John O'Flynn,after seing him two years ago I would have never predicted he would still be here.Imo when he's on form he's twice the player Kevin Doyle is.Lets hope he does'nt get injured again.Although i admire Kevin Hunt,his loyalty andhe can play ball.

Andy Myler cos he was a legend goalscorer for us and one of the nicest people
you could meet. He gave me a lift back to Dublin from some games and he even
got his parents to give be a lift one evening. True gent.

Billy Boy Molloy cos he played for Ireland in the World Yths Championships
while still an Athlone player

Liam Coyle - Legend

I have been hoping City would sign Robbie Doyle for the last couple of seasons..he was very good with UCD but had not the best of times at Bohs..lately he is playing quiet well again despite the very sad news about his brother..

Other players i like would be..Mc Donnell(UCD)..Oman and Foley(Bohs)...

**Slash/ED** · 07/07/2005, 5:42 PM

Doyle was excellent for Bohs before the off field differences had an effect on him imo.

**RedX** · 07/07/2005, 5:51 PM

When i saw Robbie Doyle a couple of seasons back with UCD i thought he was top class..his running at players with ball at his feet was superb and i was not surprised when Bohs signed him..but the strange thing is at the start of the last two seasons when a "Targets for the new season" thread starts on a City forum i seem to be the only one that names him..maybe i am the only one that can spot a decent player..

**Da Real Rover** · 07/07/2005, 6:24 PM

Its gotta be Wes Charles, a true Rovers Legend.
Houlihan is pure quality too, a class apart.

**sligoman** · 07/07/2005, 6:36 PM

Probably Wesley Charles for Bray(on loan to a Russian club now though), or Ian Rossiter for Finn Harps(ex-Rovers star)

Watching Doyle playing against us and Rovers this season for Pats and last season on TV where Shels won the league he doesn't seem near as sharp or effective as he was when he was at Belfield. Have I just seen the wrong games or has he lost his edge a bit?

**Aaron GUFC** · 07/07/2005, 6:49 PM

Alan Murphy has to be mine. He was our top scorer for 3 seasons. i would love him to come back to Galway.

Followed closely by EL's Eric Cantona Damo Dupuy, PLEASE COME BACK!!

AND corks magician Geeeeooooorge O'Callaghan - words of Turners Cross Commentator person type chap

**Mayo Red** · 07/07/2005, 6:57 PM

My top three in no particular order would be:

Kevin Hunt - great player and great loyalty!
Liam Kearney - great pace, trickery and skill!
Owen Heary - solid defender, gets stuck in!

**jagman** · 07/07/2005, 7:54 PM

def rice....

oh no wait is he supposed to be playing for us?

You know he posts here occasionally?! Sure he's delighted to know what you think!

**Stevo Da Gull** · 07/07/2005, 8:07 PM

Jason Byrne- Legend and as Zayed9 said a lovely chap.

Robbie Doyle is another who's name I always look out for, but still miles behind Jayo(Sorry Roo

).

**Anto McC** · 07/07/2005, 8:15 PM

G O'Callaghan is a great player to watch.

Ward off Bohs for the reason above and Caffery off Pats and formally of Bohs because he is a hard grafter

**sligoman** · 07/07/2005, 8:27 PM

Forgot to mention my other favourite player: Pat Scully

Willie Doyle is nowhere near as effective for Blues
