*flagicon|Ireland Jimmy KellyPublished in "Derry City FC: City Till I Die"
At the start of the 2007 season, a supporter publication, "Derry City FC: City Till I Die", designated the task of revealing their dream teams to life-long Derry City fans, Mick McBride and Davy Doherty. Both men decided to choose only players that they had witnessed first hand playing for Derry City, thus limiting the pool to only players to have appeared since the 1950s. Subsequently, the likes of goal-scoring legend, Jimmy Kelly, remained absent. Players were chosen from both Derry's
Irish League and League of Ireland eras. While distinguishing players on the basis of ability and consistency, consideration was also given to the amount of time contributed toward the club by individual players. While recognised greats such asAlan Sunderland ,Denis Tueart andNeil McNab all played with Derry City, they all played with the club during the twilight stages of their careers and did not manage to accumulate more than a handful of appearances each. Hence, players of such ilk were omitted.valign="top" width="30%"
