who do you wish you had seen playing ?

for me it has to be maradona f**k me that guy had some skill
a cannie post links up yet cause am just new but if you put
maradona,s tricks into you tube you,ll see wot i mean

 

pele

 

Garrincha

Invented the step over about 40 years before it was used often and was the first known player to peg people on purpose, possibly the best dribbler ever.

 

has to be wee jinky for me.

Maradona greates player ever to play the game.

 

James Mcgrory no contest

 

Wee Jinkyy :icon_mrgreen:

 

I was so close, my dad took me to the Scotland vs Argentina match in 89 and Maradona never showed, i think we won 1 v 0 Stewatd Mckimmie scored, Major letdown even for an 8 year old.

 

Keane... * left the world cup when I had the chance

 

nighmare,at least we won eh :icon_mrgreen:

 

i know what yie mean id love to have seen the wee man play

i work with a currentbun,and he was banging on about davie cooper (who was a great footballer)but i said he couldnt lace jinkys boots,trying to get through to him that nobody had seen the style the weeman had i might have as well being talking to the wall

you just cant educate some people

 

Jinky for me

 

This is what you call a thread

Being what you'd call an armchair fan now that it's all seating etc and football and most parts of entertainment ain't what they used to be I'd have to go for Henrik Larsson(Did see him but not nearly enough. In fact here goes my top 5!

I'm going with player who I could have seen more.

Larsson
Moravcik
Nakamura
Laudrup
Lambert

 

kenny D for me.

 

roy keane, the * legend. he embodies everything i hold dear. nuff said

 

my dad often talks about charlie tully ,great player in probaly the worst celtic team ever he says,so tully for me

 

There's so many. Charlie Tully, Jimmy McGrory, Bobby Evans, Johnny Thompson.

 

Well that's a really tough question but a would loved to have seen ............Eric Cantona or Georgi Kinkladze

 

Platini.

 

Sorry for reversing this.

* I must be ancient but blessed after seeing-

George Best-In my book the greatest of them all ever.

Tulley-Auld-Evans-McNeil-Jinky-Crerand-Lennox-Murdoch -Dalgleish etc.

Puskas-Di Stephano-Santa Maria-Gento- The best 4 players I ever saw together,

Mario Kempes-saw him score a hat trick against the rancid at Ibrox then go to the huns and bless himself, they had abused from the start to the finish.
I think this was for Valencia.
Duncan Edwards-Black & white TV
Stanley Mathews
Pele-Garrinha (the little canary )

Eusebio-Cruyff-Law-Baxter-Platini-Cantona-Beckenbauer

Paulo Muldini & his dad-both of these guys have had this same left back position for around 40 years.

I would have given anything to have saw Jimmy Mc Grory. He sat with my mum all through primary school and ramained freinds until he moved to the Gallowgate.
Not close enough for me though.

And hopefuly much more to see.

 

Would have loved to have seen jinky play him and Eusebio.
