Who was Northern Ireland's Greatest World Cup Player & Team? (select up to eleven players)

Most voters unfortunately do not know too much about our country's footballing history hence the lack of players pre 1958 in the result.
Still a great side and would give anyone a run for their money!
Similar to NIFG ?
Really not that much difference between the two! Eight players the same.
I really think the 80s is a bit under represented (no Whiteside or Armstrong). Aaron Hughes seems to be recentism (hardly ahead of McClelland, Chris Nicholl or even McDonald). Similarly, I think Jackie Blanchflower might be a sympathy vote.
Perhaps most controversially, I wouldn't have Best in the team, the best ever player from NI - YES, NI's best player - NO. Bingham and McParland would be my wingers.
Two great sides either way, would love to have seen them all take the field!
Can we say Peter Doherty was a Northern Ireland great (or just a footballing great) considering his lack of games for his country (through no fault of his own obviously)?
I would agree with Jackie Blanchflower and I would also argue that votes are generally based on what is remembered rather than facts i.e. I've seen Steven Davis play so he gets my vote.
I think all 'greatest' results will be flawed in some maner.
"I think all 'greatest' results will be flawed in some maner."
Really the crux of it all - fun though"
