Keith O'Neill, as already mentioned.
He was an instant hit when he burst onto the scene,never say die attitude,bags of skill and energy and would go out on a limb.
Unfortunately,literally he did.Could never stay away from injury and ultimately finished off his playing career.

Clinton Morrison and Liam Miller would be others I would mention here.
His last fond wish had been fulfilled to lie in his native land,and the wild waves roll in peace again on the lonely Banna Strand.

Given his Pedigree in being a relation of Con Martin and his son Mick Martin it is a great pity.

The solid gk of Man Utd back on the 70 s and  early 80 s  dont remember his name   maybe someone ...and that  gk Corrigan fellow who was wating in vain for an irish call up that never happened

at the back  i guess  D. Delaney,  Curtis Flemming was flying the right back right mid role back in the 90's  , Jeff Kenna as well  he was very good and of course the best left back ive seen play in my lifetime...  the former  Liverpool man Jim Beglin

mid  Tony Galvin  first of all  he was  a havoc of a player at his prime.....Stephen Reid .,  Keith Fahey,  Mark Kennedy

forwards   i always thought  that Tommy Coyne should have played for Ireland 4 or 5 years before  that was  BIG JACK MISTAKE ....   , he was very good for EIRE....and keith O'Neill....Michael Robinson retired so early !

Yeap Delap was big and Stoke  and Pulis saved his carrer...should have been called by Trap...il capo did some mistakes back then tbh  with players judging

Yep, and the Estonia game. In fact, there was talk of him signing for Manchester United in 2001 as an emergency signing after Barthez, and Van Der Gouw got injured. For some reason, United signed Andy Goram who was totally unprepared, and Kelly stayed at Blackburn. Perhaps this could have led to him finishing his career at Old Trafford, but that never happened.

And directly responsible for us not qualifying for Euro2000 when he didnt mark his man in the 92nd minute in Skopje.

I remember travelling through Asia in 2003 and the name Liam Miller popping up that he was going to be a massive star . The Celtic lads that were travelling the continent were livid he was leaving them and hoping Old Trafford . He failed there aswell , maybe pulling out of Park Head at the time he did was a big mistake . Also the Stephen Ireland situation ? What made him leave was it the lads pulling the piss in the dressing room of was it family issues . We will never know what he could have done for us but he seems to show no regret

Stephen Ireland could have been what Hoolahan is now for a generation at the time when he retired he pulled strings in midfield.

Agree with almost all of these - especially Keith Oneill. We had a number that never got beyond their very early promise, such as Liam George and others from the U18 championship in 98.

Colin Healy had a lot of talent but a lot of bad luck, injuries, etc.

Mark Kennedy was one who could have done anything, but decided to do f**k all instead.
You asked if I'd be anyone from history, fact or fiction, dead or alive:
I said "I'd be Tony Cascarino, circa 1995"
