'I started to follow League of Ireland soccer in the 1950s and I remember the first game I saw was at the Mardyke — Evergreen United v Waterford. To this day, I remember Donie Leahy getting two goals, so from then on I became an Evergreen fan, and later Cork Celtic.
'In a conversation some time lately, I met a couple of friends who, like me (in our 70s) started to talk about was who were the best players we ever saw playing League of Ireland, so this is my selection.
Kevin Blount.
Pat O’Mahoney.
John Coughlan.
Richard Brooks.
Donie Wallace.
Paul O’Donovan.
John Lawson, Declan Daly.
Donie Leahy, Dave Wigginton and Carl Davenport.
Alec Ludzic, Frank McCarthy, Miah Dennehy, Mick Millington, and Bobby Tambling.
'Of course, my friends had other ideas, but that’s mine. I invite people to give their opinion.
