John Giles Danny Blanchflower deserves to be on any such list as well, and let's not forget Harry Gregg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALAN 58 Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 Northern Ireland have had some very good players, then they have had George Best, the best player i have ever seen. There problem being they have rarely got it together as a team. Giles and Brady played for R.O.I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blake Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I don't think it would all that difficult to put an all-time all-Ireland team together that would give an all-time England team a pretty good run for their money. surely it's Pat Jennings in net. Not Harry Gregg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Harry Gregg. I wasn't thinking of a fantasy Irish team when I replied to your earlier post, I was just thinking up names of top Northern Irish players and Gregg came to mind, of course, Jennings was probably the better one, just didn't think of him at the time of posting.
