Idea shamelessly plundered from Sunderland’s forum. This doesn’t include those seen on tv. My five seen ‘live’ are:
George Best
Ossie Ardiles
Jurgen Klinsmann
Kenny Dalglish
Thierry Henry |  | | |  |

Best player I’ve ever seen in the flesh, is probably Georgi Kinkladze. In the pre-match warm up, he did keepy ups with two footballs at once and I’m sure wasn’t even trying.
Dennis Bergkamp - he’s definitely part X-Men in that he seemed to make time and people freeze, whilst he worked out in his head what was happening about 10 seconds ahead of play. Just football in a parallel dimension
Ronaldo (Brazil) - weapon grade footballer
Hristo Stoichkov - a top of the pyramid predator of a footballer. Never ever switched off and constantly looked like he wanted to shot gun someone’s knees out.
My Brother - for scoring a 30 yard free kick against me, that pinged off the crossbar and broke it. |  | | |

All at PR: Cruyff, Best, Keegan, Pat Jennings and a young lad playing for Chester in the 78-79 FA cup by the name of Ian Rush. "He'll do alright", I thought. |  |

I saw QPR a few times at uni and Taarabt really was one of the best players I've ever seen. Shame he would only do it for 20 mins, though be world class in those 20 mins and likely have won them the game in that time, sulk if the ball wasn't given to him, refuse to attend training, go on holiday when he wanted in the season and enjoy late night kebabs
To be so talented and know you're world class, but to lack any work ethic or desire to achieve is maddening |  |

Appreciate that he didn't pass the longevity or great international tests, but anyone who saw him play often think that the Beat was right up there? |
Sorry, disallowed. He played for us. But yes, what a player | | | |

Did you see Andrea Pirlo make his European competition debut for Brescia in the Anglo European Cup against, checks notes, Ipswich Town? |
This would be a great stat if it was actually true
EDIT; misread that as debut not European debut, as you were! [Post edited 29 Sep 2023 13:44]

Haven’t got time to think this through but a shout out for Marcel Desailly, who I remember unsurprisingly looking an absolute rock when he played against us for Chelsea | |

Now that’s a cracking five. I must have seen Terry Payne in my yoof, but I don’t remember it. Certainly missed out on Cruyff and Platini. Didn’t see the great John Charles either. | | | |

He was player/manager of Hereford United when I saw him in the early 70's at Weymouth in the Southern League. | |

Just really asking if he might have been there if he could have been there. We've had some mighty fine players, but none of that calibre. Unless Batistuta........ | |

Maradona

Platini
And pretty please, can I have Beattie? I know it bends the rules, but I do put him up there with those other players.
Good thread btw! |  |
