or because i asked who the best REPUBLIC of Ireland soccer player is/was. If I included both sides of the border, Best would hav won easily

Oh its such a difficult... Pride in my county tells me to pick Keano, the one the only (the guy with the play named after him!)
But i remember the world cup of 94, with all its heroes... help me someone, its tough!!

I'm gonna say Packie Bonner, but I'm no expert.
