Still probably the fastest left back we have, if not still the best!

I could think of worse. Had some dealings with him recently and he couldnt have been nicer. Still loved the Irish fans.

Remember his lucky green socks??

Terry Phelan's mother comes from Sligo , which is how he qualified.

Terry Phelan is a legend. I remember him doing the classic "come & get me" in the Herald I think, just before the Japan. He was 37 at the time and playing in the US - I'd have taken him like a shot.

Phelan was a very good defensive left full. Fastest Irish player in my memory. Did seem to love playing for Ireland. Myself and a few lads went nuts cheering him on when he made something on a comeback in the friendly against Scotland years ago. He made a point of applauding us at the end of the game. Top man.

On the subject of Gary Kelly, I've seen him around Drogheda a few times since he retired. He has a care home for cancer suffers in the town.
