Northern Irish goalkeeper Harry Gregg, a survivor of the Munich Air Disaster is picked at 32, while the remaining four Irish players are Shay Brennan (43), Norman Whiteside (46), Tony Dunne (47), and Frank Stapleton (50).
Not content to be in single figures, we're fighting the cause to get the likes of Kevin Moran, Paul McGrath or John O'Shea into the mix. It's a tight squeeze, but we reckon all three are have been better players for the club than Phil Neville, who gets in at 49.
At the same time though, having a near 20 percent representation in the list of the greatest players for one of the world's most famous clubs is nothing to be sniffed at.
The top 10 was always going to be controversial, with Ryan Giggs picked as the club's greatest ever player, Bobby Charlton in second and Paul Scholes in third. Denis Law and Duncan Edwards make up the top five, while Eric Cantona, Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo complete the top 10.
The most surprising placement looks to be David Beckham, who is way down at number 25, behind the likes of Gary Pallister (24) and Andy Cole (23).
