Some small crumb of comfort for Ireland....

Ok we'll include Jennings! Do people agree that after the great George Best that Liam Brady was the most naturally gifted Footballer ever to come off this island

An absolute disgrace that former hoop and N.I. great, Pat Jennings, had to wait for the second count to be elected for the world class north constituency .
Coleman, as Earl mentioned above, John Giles could give Liam Brady a run for his money, after Mr. Best of course.

To be honest i'm just a bit too young to have actually seen Giles play.
Was he not just a hard man ?

He was that to be sure, along with the rest of the Elland Road leg biters, but he had abundant skill, and always put a full shift in, for Leeds and Ireland.
You ever come across any Colemans down Galway way by any chance ?

My aul fella always told me Giles was a cracker! Big Pat was definitely 'world class' and a better keeper than Shilton to boot!

And now our group produces the cert winner!!!!

We were in the Group of death for sure! Wonder how Scotland,Wales and the North would have fared!

of course you where........

Softens a blow a bit GAWA so i'm sticking with it

yea at least you didnt have both teams go out in the next round like France and England did
