Top 5 favourite all time footballers

[strings]

Peter Schmeichel, was amazing, but when he had bad days he was terrible.

Danny from McFly, he BOSSED the midfield in that Soccer Aid game.

Michael Owen, because he is a medical marvel, the only player who can get injured simply by running in a straight line.

Paulo Wanchope, he was amazing for about 2 weeks, whatever happened to him?

Eric Cantona, I would love to know what goes on in his head.

and a special mention to:

Vinnie Jones, I would also love to know what goes on in his head.

Paulo Wanchope, he was amazing for about 2 weeks, whatever happened to him?

I saw him play for Malaga a few years back, he was shite then too

 

[Mick Beard BHA]

Paolo Di Canio - Skill & Passion for the game , whats not to love

"Roman" salutes?

 

[les dynam]

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Albion

John Keeley
Garry Nelson

John Byrne

[Marc1901]

claude makelele is my only favourite footballer , rock solid in the holding midfield roll and even though hes small hes absouloute solid ..
but Tony Yeboah's goal v wimbledon is the best goal i think i have ever seen !
YouTube - Tony Yeboah Wonder Goal - Leeds United v Wimbledon 95/96

 

[Pavilionaire]

Cantona
Le Tiss
Gazza
Lineker
BobbyZee

The first 3 had presence and personality, Lineker is just Boy's Own stuff and 48 goals for England is only bettered by the Great Sir Bobby Charlton. If we had the Lineker of 1986 in the England team now I think we'd win the World Cup.

And I still hope that one day I'll see Bobby run out in the stripes at Falmer...

 

[Safe.]

1. Terry "Gyppo" Hurlock

2. Ron "Chopper" Harris

3. Norman "Bite yer Legs" Hunter

4. Graeme Souness

5. Jimmy Case

I like silky skilled, deft of touch, daintily poised footballers

These are all the kinds fo players I want to see play, but never will because of modern football.

[Marc1901]

cheers for putting up the vid of yeboah matt mate

 

[Gully]

Albion favourites:

FDM
John Byrne
Peter Ward
Gary Hart
Bobby Zamora

(All of the above are in my mind legends, they would all talk about the Albion with pride and to quote that famous old phrase "if you cut them they would bleed blue and white stripes"...unlike that twat Lawrenson who avoids mention of the club that plucked him from obscurity and pointed him in the right direction!)

Also rans (who I have seen play):

Romario
Thierry Henry
Chris Waddle
Kenny Dalglish
Henrik Larsson

 

[RM-Taylor]

Dwight yorke

Indeed..Dwight Yorke?

Cole and Yorke dream-team up front for Manchester United in the late 90's when I was 9 years old.

 

[Barry Izbak]

Peter Ward - Electric. My reason for loving football, and the Albion
Zinedine Zidane - The best player I ever saw play
Paul Gascoigne - The best English player I ever saw play
Les Ferdinand - Great player should have played more for England. Nice bloke.
Paul Clark - True buzz went round when he picked up the scent of a frightened opponent.

And I bet The Tank has never appeared in such exalted company before

 

[Spun Cuppa]

Who I have seen play...

5) Danny Wilson - Terrier of a midfielder

4) Ian Chapman - For putting the oppo winger into the advertising hoardings within two minutes of KO in EVERY game

3) Fernando Torres - Ice in his veins

2) Ryan Giggs - Legend

&

1) Bobby Zamora - Nearly caused me loads of crashes while listening to SCR commentaries whilst driving

 

[Pavilionaire]

Dean Saunders gets overlooked - he was f***ing ELECTRIC during the brief time he played for us. That will always be the worst bit of transfer business the Albion ever did...

 

[Spun Cuppa]

Dean Saunders gets overlooked - he was f***ing ELECTRIC during the brief time he played for us. That will always be the worst bit of transfer business the Albion ever did...

Sold by us to Oxford for £100K, who then sold him on to Liverpool (?) for £1M if memory serves?

 

[webbyson]

1)....George Best......no-player i have seen play comes near
2).....Peter Ward......only Albion player who was on the ball could electrify the crowd....in a Bestie way!
3) ....Kevin Keegan...........afraid to admit it but he was also electrifying to watch
4) ....Ryan Giggs.........just keeps going on and on.....at the highest level
5).....David Beckham.........whatever you think of him he scored some wonderful goals and even though people said he could not beat a full-back he did not have too......created countless number of goals for club and country.


Now i know there are probably better players (except Best) than my choice but these are players who captivated me while watching them live. I would agree with most other peoples choices for watching on the old telebox

 

[trancing]

1. Zidane
2. Roy Keane
3. Matt Le Tisser
4. Ryan Giggs
5. Dennis Bergkamp
