Messi is probably the only one of those that would have lasted 5 minutes in the 70s or 80s, whereas our sides of that time would still be top 10 Prem. Think of Leicester today, but better. |  | | |

He may not have been the greatest I saw, but I loved watching Zola play more than any other non- Ipswich player.
The only centre back as good as the Beat was Bobby Moore.
Keane got mentioned in one post and I have to admit that he was a very good player. I saw him play for a Rest of the World XI at the Camp Nou in a star-studded team and he was outstanding. I also saw him played out of a game at FPR by Steve Palmer. |  | | |

Lampard? Really?
John Wark, Tugay Kerimoglu, Paul Scholes, Arnold Muhren, Thierry Henry. Gerrard would be the 6th.
I've seen many 'greats' live who were far from great on the day, such as Ronaldo (slim) and Alan Shearer. |
I think lamps was hugely under rated. His goal record from midfield is unmatched |  |

He was John Wark minus the aerial power and tackling prowess. Also wasn't as good at pens. He was a better dead ball man though. Both Gerrard and Scholes superior. |  |

I’ve not included any town players in my top 5, as would have trouble picking one if I didn’t pick them all... so my 5 would probably be in no particular order..
Bergkamp, Gazza, Ronaldinho, Messi, Hoddle.
Probably many others I can’t remember at the moment, and others I’ve had to leave out like Figo, Xavi, Deco, Cantona, Henry, Le Tissier to name a few.
If I could include a 6th and a Town player, then could probably add Jay Tabb to the list... |  |

Is that best as biggest names or actual performance on the pitch?
I remember seeing Cruyff, but he was bossed by Osbourne, Platini anonymous, Boniek similarly anonymous.
Best performances I can recall...
Dalglish (can't remember which season, probably more than one)
Gazza (for England before WC90)
Hoddle (for Spurs and Swindon)
Wright (Arsenal)

Got to agree with you re Zola, Was great to watch and he lit up the Prem when he arrived. | | | |

Eric Cantona, Ronaldo, Henry,I Wright, Suarez
I pick Ian Wright as every time I saw him play at PR he was always a threat. Absolutely ran rings around Micky Stockwell if I remember correctly. As for Cantona, he would often be so quiet for the first twenty minutes of the game and then turn it on. | | | |

Best, Greaves,Pele, Cruyff & Eusabio |
Eusebio's stats are crazy...
games (goals)
1957—1960 Sporting Lourenço Marques 42 (77)
1961—1975 Benfica 301 (317)
1961—1973 Portugal 64 (41)
People rarely talk about him in the same way that they talk about other greats. How good was he? What made him so prolific?
For my one... Seedorf, Giggs, Scholes, Bergkamp and Henry
I don't remember any of them playing that well when I saw them. Single best player I saw, when he was actually playing well was Juninho (Lyon). He was so much better than anyone else on the pitch. Scored an awesome freekick and just dominated the attacking play.
Lists like this are too short for defensive players... Sorry Rio, Stam, Zanetti, etc |  |

Pirlo, Ronaldinho, Cantona, Modric, Uhlenbeek |
Dammit thought i'd get to be the first to say Cantona.
Ronaldo (no.9), Bergkamp, Scholes, Cantona, Stam.
Heavy on Man Utd players but those ferguson teams had an aura about them. | |

He always seemed such a nice guy too. In fact when he was still playing I remember people saying he was probably too nice to make a success of being a manager, which seems to have been correct.
I also recall him being amazed when he first came to this country that people drank cappuccinos after 11 in the morning. (cappuccini?) | | | |

I once said on here that I was hoping one day to find a post of yours with which I disagreed.
I've found it.
Brazil : good player, especially one on one with the keeper (as good as Marcus Stewart).
Top five players ever seen? I can think of more than five ITFC players than whom he was not better! Beattie, Mariner, Wark, Crawford, 2 Dutchmen, Mick Mills, Phillips, Butch, Burley, Whymark. | | | |
