No T Fearon? I'm sure he'll be upset because he won't win it!!

How would you forget about Bernard, feckit?! Sure he's still refusing to stop riding on the crest of his fame:-D

[Onlooker]

How did John O'Shea make the list?.  He is a hopeless footballer.

I feel I should, out of loyalty to where I live, nominate a Carrickmore man. Kurt Cobaine.

[Celt_Man]

Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton or Tom Crean well worthy of mention too

I doubt you and the Belfast telegraph need to check your geography- the townland of Inisatieve is very definately in Carrickmore;-)

The top 10 is Stephen Gately, bono, Adi Roche, Mary Robinson, Padraig Pearse, Noel Brown(who is he?), John Hume, Phil Lynnott, Michael Collins, James Connolly. That is probably in reverse order to reflect my opinions.

[Dinny Breen]

Noel Brown(who is he?),

He introduced State Health Care with his Mother and Child Scheme, took on the Catholic Church, was expelled from Fianna Fail for not towing the party line, a politician who actually put the people first.
