United got 3, and they weren't even from the Premier league era. We dominated the 70's and 80's, and only one player from the Paisley era got in. Paisley, who won 3 european cups and 7 leagues in 9 years.
Kenny won so much more than George best, Bobby Charlton, Dennis Law and he doesn't get one? He was the face of the best football team in the world for a decade. your talking about 3 of the truely greatest players of all time , bobby charlton one of england's greatest, george best the best northern irish players ever , ok denis law or dalglish well not much in it two of the greatest players maybe dalglish's caps could have got it , but law won leagues and european cups aswell , i think the players they have picked is spot on really . Not exactly a great feat is it?

Fair enough, just that Dalglish looks like he's won a lot more domestically, I thought he would be rated much higher. But it's an interesting discussion for me, having not been alive at the time when Charton was playing.

No I got you Faz. But it just surprises me that Kenny isn't on there. For how iconic he was, how good he was and for hat he won, you would have thought that he would be one of the first on the list. I would expect Keegan on there before Dalglish if am honest, Keegan was more higher profile and iconic...

Appreciate the "north of Ireland" term it really keeps the inner Fenian inside me happy  But on a serious note, yea I know Best was a great player I am only takin the pisss its funny how someone from the north could be so good at football not exactly a common trait associated with the Irish. However I suppose he did have an alcohol problem so he didnt exactly beat the national stereotype.

Use that airport all the time, not a bad airport.
