Tony Sheridan is remembered as one of the stars of the League of Ireland during the 1990s and kicks off Mirror Sport's new series of best XIs.
We will be asking some legends of the domestic game to name the best players they played with or against during their careers.
First up is Sheridan, who starred for Shelbourne in the late 90s.
Formerly of Coventry City and an ex-Ireland U-21 international, Sheridan played a key role in back-to-back FAI Cup triumphs for Shels and was named Premier Division Player of the Year for the 1995-96 season.
'Shero' also turned out for Dublin City and Shamrock Rovers, playing over 170 games in the domestic league - and has been busy recently, cycling 200km to raise funds for Shels, Pieta House and Lourdes Celtic.
Sheridan admits the task of selecting best XIs is a difficult one and tells Mirror Sport a 'lot of quality players have been left out'.
