Greatest Irish players ever to play in England?
In a follow up to ‘Greatest English League XI’ (which received a massive response - thanks), I will shortly publish a feature on the ‘Greatest Irish players’ ever to grace/influence the great English game.

Liam Brady - Arsenal and Irish playmaker
In the meantime, I would greatly appreciate everyone, including EFP members and EFP writers, to please leave me your comments, on who you think deserves a place in The English Football Post’s ‘Greatest Irish XI’? Your opinions and comments will be taken hugely into consideration in my imminent blog feature. And I promise this one won’t be as long, if the last one bored the pants off you.
Thanks,
Tim

thAT would be a tough team to beat!!!
It would – can’t really argue with that though just for argument’s sake i might try and find a place for Houghton, Brady – and in time David Healy. 30 international goals in what for the best part has been a poor Irish team is not to be sniffed at
1. Shay Given
2. Dennis Irwin
3. Noel Cantwell
4. Paul McGrath
5. Jackie Carey
6. Roy Keane
7. Damien Duff
8. Liam Brady
9. Norman Whiteside
10. Robbie Keane
11. George Best
Slight bias for the Man United connection

I’d have to agree with Harry over reddevil11 at the moment. Brady has to be included, but I see your United loyalties have clouded your judgement with your exclusion of Giles & Whelan! Not sure Robbie Keane coould be considered just yet Harry. What about Quinn? Stapleton? or Aldridge?
Remember, keep your teams coming in & there will be a write-up (feature) with team XI and explanation, when we have received enough teams/votes/posts.
Watch this space.
Thanks
1) Jennings
Roy Keane
2) Irwin
3) Beglin
4) Moran
5) Lawranson
6) Ronnie Whelan
7) Ray Houghton

11) Best
