Richard Dunne, for that night in Russia.
Andrea Pirlo, for making the beautiful game beautiful.
Dimitar Berbatov, for that touch.
Lionel Messi, for being the sum of everything good about football.
Paul McGrath, Roy Keane, Richard Dunne and Dennis Irwin

My first hero was mark hughes. Then lee sharpe. Prob giggs and cantona after that.
Tony Adams, David Rocastle, Denis Bergkamp, Mark Lawrenson – still the most underrated Irish player of that era.
C Ronaldo , Roy Keane , henrik Larson and bobo balde !
Giggs, Del Piero, Totti, Roy Keane
First and foremost DIEGO MARADONA!!!! He was the one i dreamed about being as a kid. Jurgen Klinsman, Dennis Bergkamp and Zidane. I was lucky enough to be in Hampden Park in 2002 for the champions league final between Real and Leverkusen when Zidane scored “that goal”. Every fan in the stadium applauded that goal regardless of who they were supporting.
Roy Keane, beckham, ronaldinho and zidane
Puskas.
Eusebio.
Maradona.
Pele.
@Robb Stark: The fact that you’re apparently old enough to have witnessed those footballers but immature enough to act the way you do on this website is astonishing.
@Stephen Lyons: what would you know about football?
George best , Paul Mc Grath , Denis law , Jimmy Johnson .all in the same team .
@Tricksy: throw in Neville southall in goals , two wide players , one forward and one defender , perfect four a side team .
Paul McGrath, Eric Cantina, Roy Keane & Patsy Freyne
Gianfranco Zola
Jamie Redknapp was my first footballing hero.
@Ciarán Seosamh: Jaysus
@David O Brien: your goalie of choice I presume? #jesussaves
Gerrard,Torres- both gave me the best memories in such a bleak period as a Liverpool fan.
Messi- although regressed slightly with age he represents everything that makes me love the sport. Hope people never forget the level he was at a few years ago. There have been amazing players but he is out on his own ahead of them all.
Ronaldo (Brazil) Michael Owen- as above with Torres it didn’t end well at Liverpool. However Ronaldo and Owen are who I used to pretend to be in the back garden. The most natural finishers I have seen .

@The Great Cornholio: Redondo was some player. Funny how the role of the defensive midfielder has changed to more of a defensive anchor man such as kante , makelele, masherano. Alot of the game used to be controlled by the defensive midfielder and they were given more freedom if you like.(viera, davids, petit,Keane were great box to box defensive midfielders and in later years players such as Alonso and pirlo have controlled the game)
