And what is the address for this football porno website?

Obviously, I am only asking for research purposes...

UCD is my team and the best ever player would be Ken O'Doherty. He was club top scorer when he played up front, And he was club top scorer one season playing at the back . He scored the winning goal in the FAI Cup Final in 1984, played in Europe the following season. Early in 1985 he moved to Crystal Palace and later Huddersfield , he had a successful enough 7 year career cross channel and won the cup in his final Season with Shelbourne. Consistently determined hard as nails and always reliable.

Roy Keane or Cantona! two absolute legends!

And fair play to him, when he quit the football and started playing snooker, things really took off.

I was a regular on the Northbank from 89-93 and my favourite Arsenal player was Rocky Rocastle(RIP).Liverpool had a good side around then and at club level Barnes and Beardsley were great players to see live.Much as it pains me to admit it Gazza(at that time) was the most unpredictable and skillful player I ever seen at a game.

I had to go off and have a think about my favourite Marseille player. I'd say Barthez. Loyal player and he's done very well there.

Absolute hero!! Strange actually because I was only asked yesterday about my first ever Shels game and it was in 1991 against Rovers in the RDS when I was only four, and Ken O'Doherty scored a last minute equaliser.

Best player to ever play for my club: Wes Hoolahan, Tony Sheridan or Joseph Ndo.

i think this is a great thread, would be good to start a el one about best players in your era. Interesting to see.

I'm surprised Cymro hasn't beaten me to it, but, eh, Cardiff is actually a Welsh team playing in England.

Really cant say but at a push i'll go for King Kenny. Hansen was the best defender.

Gianfranco Zola = LEGEND

Gav I have to ask, does your love for Pro Vercelli stem from Champ/Football Manager?

haha yeah! picked them at random in serie c2, got them promoted to serie a! did some net research along the way and have become quite smitten with the club - learning italian by reading one of the fan's blogs

hoping to make a week during the year where myself and herself can go see the san siro, followed by the Silvio Piola.
