That tackle was a thing of beauty. Cleaned him right out. Trouble is, I was after players who never played for us. | | | |

Forgot about Beckenbauer, so he remains excluded from my list, but I was privileged to see the great man play for W Germany in 1975. Saw Charlton play a few times too. Fantastic list btw. To see Pele - wow! [Post edited 29 Sep 2023 6:57]

Eusebio! What a player. Every kid at junior school into football wanted to be Eusebio - including me. Moore and Denis were certainly in contention for my top five. | | | |

Five best non-Ipswich players you personally ever saw on 07:51 - Sep 29 with 2904 views | DJR | This is based on opposition players seen at Portman Road. Limiting it to a single game, I suppose I could choose either Best, Law and Charlton (all European Footballers of the Year) or Moore, Hurst and Peters (all World Cup winners). Those were the days! On balance, I would opt for the Man U trio, and to make up my five would choose Dalglish and Cruyff. I might add that my dad worked with someone who took photos for the club (in those days such roles were not full-time), and there are tucked away somewhere in the loft at my mother's individual photos he took of Best, Law and Charlton in a game around 1970.

Did you see Andrea Pirlo make his European competition debut for Brescia in the Anglo European Cup against, checks notes, Ipswich Town? | | | |
Five best non-Ipswich players you personally ever saw on 09:43 - Sep 29 with 2718 views | soupytwist | I've only got a couple that I can recall, Javier Zanetti in the Inter home game and I saw Gullit play for Chelsea against us. Wasn't at the peak of his powers then but in terms of talent over the course of a career it's probably him. | | | |
