He does take the top spot in goals per game ratio for Ireland, 4 in 6 is pretty impressive Still only 30, and regardless of his international ''career'' , was finished as a top level footballer at 24. Fair enough, has made 100 appearances in the decade since he left Man City, which itself is a poor return for the talent he had. |

Pats had to pay him out of a rumoured €3k a week contract for two years after we sacked him for being overweight. |

Unfortunately never fully capped, but Willo Flood.
What a huge talent that never fullfilled his promise. |

Yes I know. Which is why I nominated him. Gibson, Ireland, Miller - all these lads have all made careers for themselves and are very wealthy. Keane on the other hand was a promising player who threw it all away. |

Tony Sheridan - without doubt the most naturally talented player to play in LOI. Played in the Premier League for Coventry in early 90's. Another one who messed things up for himself.

He was a serious talent alright. I see him training Terenure Rangers underage lads in Bushy park sometimes.

Probably being a little harsh because he was very unlucky at various stages, but Keith Fahey to an extent. Probably one of the best passers of a ball we've had over the last decade. Personal problems prevented him from knocking on to the next level.

Graham Geraghty could have been huge for us. I think Fergie mentioned his fitness in his book, doing push ups with Steve Bruce on his back. Under Water.

Keith Fahey had a huge amount of ability, but was unlucky
He was never capped at senior level, but Conor Henderson had a boat load of ability. Ran the show against Italy U21s in 2012 and scored a screamer. Injuries and maybe some distractions will probably see him play out his career in the conference. |

Poor oul Paddy. What a player he was. Given that his pro career was basically non existent after 21/22, he is a contender for biggest waste of talent. At the very least, he could have had a great LOI career. He has no international caps though so doesnt really belong in this thread. He's a gas character but it's sad that he never really bounced back from his spell in the UK.

It really is a pity Keith Fahey didn't play more for us and though he's playing now, we've lost a good 5 years of having Hoolahan in the team when he deserved to be in it. Not really his fault though but wasted in an overall sense rather than through his own actions.

Barry Quinn capped by McCarthy only made four appearances for Eire, but looked a promising midfielder at Coventry.
Think he might have got a bad injury that put him down the international pecking order. One of Brian Kerr's golden generation. |

Stevie Highway on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing.....!! Was before my time also - Have met him at the Liverpool Academy a few year back and was a sound fella. Have only seen him play on films of old games but he looked a proper old skool winger.

But wasn't Geraghty at Arsenal where Paul Merson said he was the fittest player he ever saw ? |

Wes Hoolahan - wasted in the sense that Trap wasted his best years for us, in a time where our midfield screamed out for someone of his technical ability.
