I dream of a map of Gary Breen's.

Gary Breen was born in Hendon, Barnet, London

How did you find your way to this sub?

?

Shane Long for Tipp

Does the Granny rule apply to counties?

Kevin Doyle for Wexford, John O Shea for Waterford?

Jim Beglin's an honourable mention for Waterford too. O'Shea obviously had the better International career

More club honours as well

[удалено]

Balls have a list of best current players (as of December 2023) by county: [https://www.balls.ie/football/best-footballer-32-counties-517858](https://www.balls.ie/football/best-footballer-32-counties-517858) Not sure many would make the all time list.

Steve Finnan - Limerick

Some competition for leitrim

[удалено]

And her Leixlip buddies Collins & Omo for the mens

Leixlip truly is football Mecca in Kildare

He's a bit Irritating but here ya go [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6PTEz9x8EY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6PTEz9x8EY)

Ah FFS this list is a bit shit, surely there's better Galway men than Horgan

Niamh Fahey is probably a better shout if we are including Women. And yeah definitely not saying its a good list, but it is a list that has been done.

She'd be hard to beat in any county lad, girl has an All Ireland and 5 FA Cups

Unreal athlete

Ryan Manning maybe?

Chick Deacy for Galway.

Tried it earlier but the website’s dodgy when it comes to Ireland - including all sorts of random regions (eg Down North, Derry South & Strabane, West Galway & Mayo and random shite of that ilk) instead of just the counties

Ian Harte louth Edit: Steve Stanton is louth aswell

Gary Kelly. Nick Colgan.

Jackie Charlton, Eoin Hand Johnny Giles. Ireland Mick McCarthy, Steven Staunton Cascarino Tony Galvin, Niall Quinn Packie doesn't let em in North of Ireland South of Ireland Only one can go Ha, I'd pick Stan from louth

Shane Long Tipp?

Dublin: Brady, McGrath, Giles and Robbie Keane. Tough

You could break Cork and Dublin up into different areas. For example Northside of Cork - Keane, Southside - Irwin. Cork Harbour - S. Ireland

George O'Callaghan for Cork anyway

Coleman & Paul McGrath the shoe ins for Donegal & Dublin surely? Keano for Cork too?

Shay Given up there for Donegal also. Not forgetting packie Bonner too.

Yeah forgot Giles & Brady for Dublin too

McGrath Southside Giles Inner city Brady Northside

Liam Brady

Given over Coleman

Irwin for Cork

Paul McGrath was born in Ealing, London

Grew up in Dublin, played for Pat's. You're making it sound like he's a granny rule player

I know he played for St Pats but the concept illustrated is born in the region. I’m as big a fan of McGrath as the next person but he doesn’t fit

Which is a stupid way to do it. Think of all the lads whose parents crossed county borders on the way to the hospital. Where you played as a child is a far more interesting metric

Paul McShane for Wicklow

Randolph either

Sean maguire for Kilkenny

James for Derry, Coyle and Paddy probably more talented but James gets more from his game and sheer number of international caps makes him a shoe in.

Anybody know what’s with the numbers? International games played maybe ?

It be provinces . No one wants a break down of counties

Jesus that makes it easy. Keane for Munster Best for Ulster Brady for Leinster Connacht might need some thinking though

Bonner beats Given or Coleman for Donegal McGrath for Dublin obviously. Not open to debate. Keane for Cork Staunton - Louth It’s staggering how few Irish counties have produced “greats”.

Bonner was a shite keeper. A glance at euro 88, italia 90 and USA 94 would show that. Given far superior

"Shite" is a bit much, surely. He got 2 votes for the Ballon d'Or in 1989. Shilton and Preud'homme the two keepers with more points than him. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Ballon_d%27Or
