Agreed, Lawrenson was no agricultural centre half.

Pound for pound Lawrenson was the best footballer ever to play for ROI .

Got to disagree, for me it's Paul McGrath. And that from  Birmingham fan.

The Liamer for me too, pity he turned into such a poisonous pundit though..

Eh? Brady's always been the white bread to encase Gilesy's cranky old man and Dunphy's pub pundit routines. Don't know where fake Pep Guarola fits into the equation. Way more entertaining that the stuff the UK stations pass off as analysis anyways.

Always amazes me that Duff's name never comes up in these debates. He's easily the best creative player Ireland have had over the last 20 years, and was one of the outstanding players in World Cup 2002, including the best player on the pitch against Spain.

I would say he was top ten in world in 2002. Did he get on team of the tournament?

Leicester city on the verge of reaching the last eight of the champions league!

No but he made the UEFA team of the year in 2002  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Team_of_the_Year#Team_of_the_Year_2002

Nasri is some idiot.

[J70]

Nasri is some idiot.

Vardy is worse. That was disgraceful.

[AZOffaly]

Nasri is some idiot.

Vardy is some shite bag too though.  He knew what he was doing. I never bought the romantic story with him. He's a sack.

Anyone who would put Fat Ronaldo in ahead of Real Ronaldo needs a new pair of glasses.

Without doubt the most brainless comment ever on this forum.

The real Ronaldo was the Brazilian Ronaldo and he was the greatest footballer the world has ever seen.

After his knees went at Inter, he was probably 60-70% of the player he was before that and still the best in the world.

Steady on.  You could argue he was the best in the world at that time but there were better before him and certainly better since. He wasn't even the best Brazilian ever ffs.

[The Stallion]

Brazilian Ronaldo is one of the greatest players ever, and far far better than his Portuguese namesake. I have never seen a better Brazilian footballer.

Another who doesn't get the credit he deserves is Ronaldinho. He is too often dismissed as a show pony, but at his peak he was arguably the best player in the world, and some of the football he played is up there with any player ever. Another who was finished at quite a young age, but that shouldn't detract from his brilliance.
