Are you talking about ROI or Northern Ireland here? in Golf you have Mclroy and Mcdowell who are both Northern Irish, and in Boxing none of those 3 are really legit.. Tyson was born in England and represents both, he lost out of representing England because David Price was preferred and then he tried to represent Ireland and failed as well
And then there is England..
The Greatest all round female athlete in the World without a doubt, destroyed the field at the Olympics and then still won the final event to prove how good she was
The greatest distance runner in the world, destroyed all the African Runners like they were Jobbers
Current Gold medallists and future Cycling Gods ( if they are not already )
TDF and Olympic gold medalist in the same year! that alone tops anything Ireland has ever done in the sporting world, greatest all round cyclist ever without a doubt
France and England still remain the only teams to win both the Rugby and Football World Cups
The darting God and one of the most successful sportsmen ever
^ The Greatest Rower and Sailor the world has ever seen
The great Carl Froch ( who makes Tyson look like a bum )
not to mention we have the current Snooker World Champion, the current Darts World Cup, and in Football the current Champions of Europe for both Cups are English.
In Rugby we recently destroyed Ireland at the Six Nations with Farrell going into GOAT Mode and not to mention before that at the end of last year we beat New Zealand like no body has beat them before in recent years, Dan Carter could only stand in amazement as Farrell kicked everything over. we also have best kicker in the history of the game in Wilko and took out the Aussies in the greatest world cup final ever.
In Golf Ireland could only wish to have someone as amazing as Nick Faldo as as for Cricket well.. remember 2005 and that amazing ashes series where we took on and beat one of the best cricket sides ever? and since then we have pretty much been the best Cricket team, we are above Ireland in the Test, IDO and 20Twenty rankings and in the top 5 in all of them
Sorry about destroying your thread, feel pretty bad now
