Mark Kinsella and Matty Holland. It wasn't supposed to be the central midfield partnership at the 2002 World Cup but it was and they did a stellar job, cementing their status as criminally underrated Irish heroes.

He was appointed as first team coach by Johnny McDonnell at Drogheda alongside the experienced Pete Mahon and now that McDonnell has left the club. Kinsella is stepping up to the plate for the time being at least.
