Favourite/best footballers

[missviper]

I think Terry is a great defender and kind of sexy
best of all he plays for Chelsea

Still feel sorry for him when he got captaincy took off him from the England team....

 

[Reesy]

Gerrard > Terry
Both as a footballer and as England Captain.

 

[smudge_don]

Terry is a class act and a really nice guy. Met him several times around Cobham where the training ground is

All the old Chelsea lot i've met when i was younger as well - Di Matteo, Wise, Viali, Zola

QFT!
Let's not start with Rio..

 

[crazy88]

I still don't understand why Terry was stripped of captaincy! I think it was a ridiculous decision based on the lives of the majority of footballers.

Oh, and for me...it's all about Tony Yeboah!

King Luis. I ****** loved him!

 

[crazy88]

Still not as good as Yeboah though is he!

 

[jojo]

Ronaldo.

He's better than him at the moment.

Ronaldo.

Which one?

 

[crazy88]

Which one?

All of them. And yes, Tony Yeboah has past it a little bit that's fair to say. I just love him, as supporting Leeds around that time was brilliant with some of the goals he scored.

 

[Essflee]

Cantona...

Judo chop !

 

[Maz]

Gheorghe Hagi.

 

[jojo]

All of them.

This! It seems if you have this name, you are naturally good, no questions asked.

Ironic that the English equivelant Ronald doesn't seem to produce anything like a good footballer That 'o' makes all the difference.

 

[James.Asbri]

Best player from my generation: Giggs (By a country mile)

Current: Messi (Nobody is even close)

It's not an 'o'..... its a football.

 

[Good 2 B A Gooner]

1st - TH14 - they'll never be another player as good as him in the EPL.
2nd - Bergkamp - class personified.
3rd - Zola - A class player and a class little guy.

End of thread me thinks...!

Ronaldo may well have made it in the top 3 had he stayed another 2 years.

On the world stage right now though - Messi - OMFG! it's cheating having that little man in your side!
Not looking forward to the Barca game... Still, no shame in going out to them!

 

[Good 2 B A Gooner]

Gheorghe Hagi.

One of the most underrated players ever - what a player. Wasn't to bad for Barca!

Never has been, never will be.

2nd - Bergkamp - class personified.

Slow as fooook, but skillful as foooook.

3rd - Zola - A class player and a class little guy.

Almost, and I repeat ALMOST, made chelsea likeable.

Can you imagine if Ronaldo went to Barca and played along side Messi. Might as well cancel La Liga and the Champions League and hand barca the title every year until they both turned 30.

 

[All_Torque]

Paul Scholes & Ryan Giggs currently
Van Basten, Gullit, Rijkaard, Rivaldo, Romario, Klinsmann, Baggio & Batistuta in the past!

Never has been, never will be.

As long as they kept Xavi & Iniesta fit they would!

I'm not looking forward to Barca.... Still, this time we shouldn't be missing over half of our side!

I'd have to say my all tine favourite outside Arsenal would be Maldini - what a man and player.

 

[Good 2 B A Gooner]

I am I the only guy who never got Cantona? For me he was an enigma. More about his personally than his ability.

To be honest I can't see Barca embarrassing (the way they played, not the number of goals) the gunners this time around.
Arsenal have stepped up this season (excluding the last 20 mins of the Newcastle game )

I am I the only guy who never got Cantona? For me he was an enigma. More about his personally than his ability.

Yep, you probably are. Some of Cantona's play/touch/etc was pretty unbelievable.
I would say it was a mix of the two.... personality and ability.

 

[S4twiggy]

for me as a chelsea fan its the little italian giant Zola, i was there at his debut when i was younger and the thinhs he was doing whilst warming up was amazin.

best footballer thats been here is a mix between Giggs(class player) or thiery henry. but really there are so many that have been pure class over the years.

present day i would say Messi

 

[Ads]

The greatest to watch:

Maradona
Zidane
Figo
John Barnes
Ronaldinho
Robinho (first spell at Santos)

...and Titus Bramble (but not for the same reasons as the others).

 

[rockape]

Errrr nobody springs to mind.......

 

[Mpathe]

best player now has to be messi

def yes to Zola what a legend

 

[missviper]

Lampard and Giggs is also a favourate with me

Must admit i have never been a fan of Beckham or Rooney not sayin there not good players cause they are but not exciting enough for me.

Some past legends are Del Piero and was a great fan of Gazza believe it or not he was a exciting player

 

[mikeyg]

Talking about exciting players, after adding Lampard!

 

[S3RYE]

Best retired players Cantona, Van Basten & Zidane
Best current Messi, Ronaldo

 

[jojo]

I'm not sure if you're a fan of these two players for their football Maria.

 

[missviper]

Cause football honest...Giggs is a skillful player and def not my type of man lol

 

[DaveA3]

zola, batistuta, zidane, drogba, and my all time favourite striker original ronaldo de lima before he got fat. he was superb in all aspects of the role.
