    Ronaldinho without a doubt

    And folk will disagree with stats etc, he was the most skillful player I've seen , live it's even better.

    Played with a big cheeser tae

    The GOAT - Leo Messi.

    Followed closely by Andres Iniesta.

    Diego Maradona every time. Loved how he played the game. He didn’t think he naturally reacted.

    Maradona for me too...

    Always liked the ‘quirky ‘ players as well so Eric Cantona was always interesting.

    Messi. He's put a new line in the sand.

    Everyone goes with the recognised superstars, but for me, Iniesta was the best in the world in his position in my lifetime.

    An absolute joy to watch, in a team that, imo, will never be matched.

    Iniesta.

    I will say Davy Cooper as he was in my era. I have said him bcos there was so many greats in the world at the same time.
    When Ruud Gullit picks him in his world 11, i am not arguing with Rudy

    Another Slippy G moment.


    The most entertaining player I've ever seen. Between him and Robert Carlos for me. So many though. Jay Jay Okocha was another one. Zlatan as well.

    Messi for me but barring all the superstars who played for Barca ect there a few cult hero’s out there.

    Loved watching Diego who played for Werder, Wolfsburg, Atlético...

    Hard to say really.

    Obviously it's easy to for the superstars who win awards for their performances like Messi, two Ronaldos and others.

    But I've always had soft spot for players like Nedved, Seedorf, Lahm, Nesta, Scholes, Xavi, Iniesta and othets I can't think of right now.

    Was going to say the same.
    Was behind the celtic goal when cooper scored the goal against us in the Glasgow cup final, and was the 1st and only time ive seen Celtic supporters applaud a hun goal.
