Liam Brady was an artist. He was one of those really gifted lefties that has created the Lefty Genius genre

One absolute legend talking about another

My footballing hero, and I ended up as his postman for a while…..

Affection from all irish fans not just some

[@johnbermingham9106]

I will always remember Liam taking on Brazil at Landsdowne Road, and scoring the winning goal. If he had been Brazilian they would have written songs about him. But we know the legend was a Dub!

[@johncambridge7339]

Brady was one of the greatest football players to have ever played for arsenal

[@Michael-hk6dj]

Brady was most definitely a player for the big occasion.

Always have Brady at number 1 did it at Italy when it was the hardest league in the world. I’m always torn between John and Roy for number 2. Then I’d go McGrath then Robbie as my top 5. Honourable mentions for Irwin whelan who was shafted like Liam by jack.

That summary of what great players touches do was SO good. Spatial awareness is largely innate.

Brady one or the best 10 of all time , a joy of a playmaker, what Jack did was a crime though all the good things he did, he took Alan McLaughlin/ Gary Waddock/ John Byrne / David Kelly instead of him. I don't count Bernie Slaven because Slaven was the in form player at the time at the perfect age, a bit like Schillaci that's why it was weird that Aldridge / Cascarino weren't scoring and Slaven was not introduced
