MLS: Top 5 Irish players in league history

In total, only 15 Irish players have featured in Major League Soccer over the last quarter of a century, with the first joining in the inaugural season back in 1996. Both Ian Hennessy and Paul Keegan played in the debut MLS campaign, with the latter making it onto our list of the top five Irishmen of all time.

There are some big omissions, but who else joins Keegan in our top five?

5. Kevin Doyle

The first man to make our list of the best Irishmen to ever play in Major League Soccer, is former Colorado Rapids forward Kevin Doyle.
