Following on from Noely thread, I've decided to inject a small bit of positivity into procedings. However, I think there will a lot less deliberation over this one.
I'll start:
Roy Keane.

I think I should the parachute, because I'm great.
In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.

Quoting years at random since 1975
Keane, McGrath and Brady. Hard to choose between the 3! McGrath probably as he really stood out when we had our golden period!
'And Crouch must score'
Top 4 I have seen play would be Giles, Brady, McGrath and Keane. Tough one. Have to think hard about this. Keane shades it.
I'd have to add Shay Given to the above.
From my time Brady, followed by McGrath and Keane, with John "Budgie" Byrne slightly behind again.
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
Agree with those 4 - no one else comes close (unless you're going back further generations).
As to to the relative merits of these four - depends what you mean by "best". If its based on mutiple performances where single-handedly they got us key results then I'd go for 1. Keane, 2. Brady, 3. McGrath, 4. Giles.
Together with all our hearts.
I'm a bit too young to remember Paul McGrath during the good days.
Its Roy Keane for me. Without a doubt.
Shay Given
For pure ability it has to Brady for me followed closely by Mcgrath. Brady at his best was a sublime footballer to watch.
"I'd rather play in front of a full house than an empty crowd" Johnny Giles
Top players I've seen were Giles, Brady, McGrath and Keane.
Paul McGrath for me.
The best you have seen is fair enough.
Giles, then a very small gap to Brady, then a gap to the others
If you were to vote for the best ever then only those who have seen
Giles, Brady, McGrath etc. can vote.
Mark Lawrenson???Tony Dunne,Denis Irwin but no arguement about those 3 absolute gems
"You'll not see nothing like the Shelbourne team"
Im a little too young to remember McGrath and the likes. For me it would have to be Roy Keane and on his day Duffer
McGrath & Brady for me, Roy not far off either but Big Paul has always been my favourite and Giant Stadium in 94 is almost enough on its own to get my vote.
Never saw Giles play but he always looks very classy on the old replays
Brady was ace
But I would have to say paul Mcgrath was the best to ever wear the green
and Roy was good, when he bothered
Too young to remember Giles, but out of Brady, Keane and McGrath there's no doubt in my mind, McGrath was the best.
agreed.
im only 21 so i didnt have the chance to see brady, giles etc. in their pomp. mcgrath was heroic, but there's no doubt in my mind that it's keane. he is my absolute hero
also, on a related topic. keane is not included in the FAI's selction of 'irish football greats' on their website. Typical of the cuunnts!!!!! they have mark kennedy in there but not roy keane! ridiculous
