The best player YOU have seen?

[1066gull]

Baring in mind I've only been to one match.

It has to be our winger Carole.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Paul Gascoigne, just oozed natural talent.
Ronaldo, was only young but very exciting.
Paul McGrath, most natural defender I have ever seen.
Alan Shearer, the complete centre forward
Ryan Giggs, when he was young he had the whole crowd on the edge of their seats.

FAVOURITE player I have ever seen live...Paulo Di Canio.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Old Father Abraham saw Stanley Matthews play for Stoke City at Villa Park.

He was getting on a bit by then, though, but still had magic in his feet.

Paul Gasgoine, was just brilliant, Lineker was awsome in front of goal, and don't forget Ian Wright.

For Brighton, Peter O'Sullivan down the wing was just a joy to watch!!

Remember:

Sully, Sully, Sully, Sully
Born is the king of Bri-i-igh-ton

(to the carol "Noel" in praise of Peter O'Sullivan.)

 

[attila]

Mark Lawrenson (then, not now!)

 

[Ernest]

In Albion colours has to be Justin Fashanu

 

[clapham_gull]

Peter Ward and Maradona

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

I saw Stanley Matthews, Bobby Moore, BobbyCharlton, Johan Cuyff, Paul Gascgoine and many other great players but the best player I ever saw in the flesh was a certain Mr George Best. The greatest of all time - Pele, but I never saw him live.

Shouldn't you be wrangling those smurfs?

I have two ('Wills Whiffs') cigarrette cards for Sir Stan, framed together in my bathroom. Never saw him except in old footage (1933, saw you in the crowd ;>)
Let it not be forgotten how some of those olden golden players were juggling a friggin medicine-ball weight in ploughed pitches in Glastonbury-festival weather around 'Clydesdale' type defenders and welting the thing in't top corner under those conditions. Back then, they could 'check' the goallie into the goal while holding the ball - and it counted!
Imagine heading that ball as well, Dixie Dean must've lost billions of brain cells for those headed goals.
