    ...............Given

    O'Leary...McGrath...Lawrenson

    ......Roy Keane...Brady

    Heighway...Keane.......Duff

    ......Aldridge...Stapleton

    (I know Heighway & Duff are both lefties but think they would both cause a defence havoc running at them in their prime.)

    No,like,I assumed it was just a spelling mistake until everyone started spelling it like that!I presume we're on about Mark Lawrenson-MoTD guru?

    Just copied spelling from someone else there. Lawrenson and Hansen were a good combination in their day.

    I know hes a major cnut, but anybody that can put an alltime Irish 11 without Ronnie Whelan is very misled, Whelan along with Keane is probably the only Irish player who we could say was the best player in the world in his position for a time, Whelan over Brady, Houghton, Duff(FFS) Heighway and Giles anyday lads, he was a super player its bittterness that has him the way he is now.
