Was John Carey one of the best Irish Manchester United players of all all time and why?

Some info on Carey - John Joseph Carey (born Dublin, Ireland February 23, 1919; died August 23, 1995), also known as Johnny Carey or Jackie Carey, was an Irish footballer and manager. As a player Carey spent most of his career at Manchester United where he was team captain from 1946 until he retired as a player in 1953. As an international, he played for and captained both Ireland teams - the FAI XI and the IFA XI. In 1947 he also captained a Europe XI which played a Great Britain XI at Hampden Park. In 1949 he was voted the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year and in the same year captained the FAI XI that defeated England 2-0 at Goodison Park, becoming the first non-UK team to beat England at home. Carey was also the first non-UK player and the first Irishman to captain a winning team in both an FA Cup Final and the First Division. Like his contemporary Con Martin, Carey was an extremely versatile footballer and played in nine different positions throughout his career|||i agree with that... if you can imagine the effects of cantona to utd in the 90s to carey's after the war, it is something similar... both ushered in unparalleled periods of success...
