    as we have a very eclectic age range on this forum I thought the following would generate some interesting responses.

    Pick the best player you have seen from each of the Home Nations. For the benefit of this thread you can pick from either NI or ROI.

    England - Gascoigne
    Wales - Giggs
    ROI - Liam Brady
    Scotland - Gemmill (if only for that goal against Holland in the 78 World Cup)

    Have fun picking a Jock, it was hard hahaha

    Best didn't play for ROI daft arse. <ok>
    Furthermore, ROI isn't even a home nation just another foreign country just like Germany is.

    Anyway, here's my tuppence worth.
    I've only included players I've actually seen live.

    England - Paul Gascoine.
    Scotland - Kenny Dalgliesh.
    Wales - Ryan Giggs.
    Northern Ireland - Pat Jennings.

    Haven't included ROI for the reason given above. <ok>
