Alright, let’s talk about them football fellas, the Irish ones, the real good ones. You know, the ones that make you jump outta your seat and yell at the telly, even if you can’t understand half of what them commentators are jabberin’ about.
Now, some folks say this fella, George Best, was the best. And I ain’t gonna argue with ‘em much. He was somethin’ else, that one. Like a slippery eel on the field, nobody could catch him. Just zoomin’ around, kickin’ that ball like it was attached to his foot with a string. They say he was the greatest, and maybe he was. He sure made a lot of noise, that boy.
Then there’s this other bunch. Not as famous maybe, but still good, real good. Like, this article I saw, it talked about fellas who coulda played for Ireland, but didn’t. Like that Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane. Good lads, I hear, but they went their own way. And that Roy Keane, he was a tough one, always scrappin’ and fightin’. But he was good, real good in the middle there, controllin’ things.
They say Roy coulda played with another fella, Paul Scholes. Another tough one. Man, them two together, they woulda been like a brick wall, nobody gettin’ past ‘em. But it didn’t happen, did it? Sometimes things just don’t work out the way you want ‘em to.
- George Best was real flashy, like a show pony.
- Roy Keane was like a bulldog, always grittin’ his teeth.
- And them other fellas, the ones that coulda played for Ireland, well, they made their choices.
This article I saw, it had this list, you know, the best Irish players ever. And it’s hard to argue with it, I guess. They got all the names, the big ones and the not-so-big ones. But it’s all just talk, ain’t it? Who’s really the best? It depends on who you ask, I reckon. My old man, he used to say so-and-so was the best, but he was always a bit biased, you know?
But them fellas on that list, they were somethin’ special. They played hard, they ran fast, and they kicked that ball like their lives depended on it. And that’s what matters, ain’t it? Givin’ it your all, that’s the Irish way, I always say. Don’t matter if you win or lose, long as you try your best.
And speaking of tryin’ your best, there’s this other fella, they mentioned him too. Played in the middle of the field, they say he was one of the best ever in that Premier League. Played for that Manchester team, the red ones. Real strong, real tough, like I said, that’s what you need. Can’t be a pansy out there, gotta get stuck in. That’s what makes a good footballer, in my book anyway.
So, yeah, them Irish footballers, they’re a special bunch. They got that fire in their bellies, that somethin’ special that makes ‘em stand out. And whether it’s George Best or Roy Keane or some other fella, they all made us proud, didn’t they? Made us jump outta our seats and yell at the telly. And that’s all that matters, in the end.
In conclusion, it’s hard to say who the absolute greatest is. George Best, he’s up there, for sure. But there’s a whole bunch of others, tough lads, skillful lads. They all done Ireland proud, and that’s the main thing. They gave it their all, and that’s all you can ask for, right? Just good, honest lads, kickin’ the ball and makin’ us proud.
And like I always say, it ain’t about the fancy footwork or the big names, it’s about the heart, the passion. And them Irish footballers, they got plenty of that.
