Feature: All Time Lisahally XI - Paddy Kelly

Not many Lisahally players can say they played in the League of Ireland, but Paddy "Horse" Kelly can. Kelly was a part of a Finn Harps team that included José Mukendi, Declan McIntyre and Con McLaughlin, who was the first Donegal man to score 100 goals in the League of Ireland. Kelly's career at Lisahally saw him start games at centre back, only to be subbed at half time so that he could go over the border and play for Drumoghill!

Paddy said a few words on his choices:

"Didn't play that often but Watty was a quality keeper, could have been at a higher standard. Chris Tracey, Mr Consistent, knew how to play football with no complaints. Ogilby in the centre, the quiet man-mountain and one of the best defenders to come out of Derry. Myself, a blow-in, but outstanding all the same. Decky Brown at left back, strong footballer, could have been a pro. Right midfield, Sean Hargan, solid footballer, great talker. Left midfield, Dick Tracey, mostly a full back but top class, a ref's nightmare. In the middle, Stroker, who was different class, with Topher Whoriskey, the cream of the crop and simply the best footballer to come out of Strathfoyle. Up front, Diesel Brown, outstanding goalscorer, alongside Libby Mullan - with Topher - the creme de la creme, a true gentleman.

Of the subs, Jai - a good man, fully committed to the cause. Young Aidy, has bags of potential, great natural left foot. Snay, "The Man", the water carrier, great for team morale, and Hector - there's a man who'd go through a brick wall for you."
