Top 5 Footballers of Your Lifetime

[G|mp]

True!, or more appreciative of true defensive class.


That said, Paul McGrath was on the brink of selection for me!

Indeed, he hardly trained and was still one of the best defenders in England at the time

He was the reason you challenged for the title, forget Atkinson,Saunders etc, big drunken McGrath was the man

Although hes knees had gone by the time you had him

I've had grief in this thread over Ronaldo from Hlebio, where if he looked, he wasn't even in my list for example.

Do you even read his posts?

I find he talks out of his arse 99% of the time

His knees were gone, he didn't train, he was suicidal, depressed and drunken, and yet won the PFA Player of the Year for 92-93! Absolute rock! - and at £450k, a nice little gift from Sir Alex, who had offered him a pay-off to retire!

We were building a nice little team at the time

We didnt need Robbo and McGrath getting everyone leathered before games

Cantona


Special mention on my subs bench to Lothar Matthäus

You know it makes sense.

How a fat **** like that ever played international football at such a high level i'll never know.Theres hope for me yet:d

Shouldn't be surprising. Ferguson doesn't have the best track record of getting money for sales.

McGrath, Veron, Rossi, Beckham, Nistelrooy, Pique, Stam, Cole.... There's a long, long list, but the chips are done and my steak needs a cookin'!

Can't believe that no one else but myself has mentioned Dalglish! Either you lot are all 17 or i'm just too old to be on here!

 

[sandy10]

I'd say he did pretty well to get £8m for Andy Cole!

I was born in the same year that King Kenny signed

I'm old enough to remember him, and begrudgingly admit he was class, but those tiny shiny pulled up shorts, and little dancing feet put him in the "very camp" category, and hence would place him somewhere near 87th in my list, sandwiched in between former Athletico Madrid star Milinko Pantic, and ex-Villa legend Shaun Teale.

**** ME Shaune Teale, now if he wasnt a fairy i dont know who is

Lol. Shaun Teale had the biggest calfs in the world, they were freaky.

You're having a laugh - he was as hard as nails FFS!

Saying that, his moustache was a tad on the Village People side, but he was a right brute!

 

[wassap]

It was that tash!

 

[Viper²]

And I also said Maldini was the best player to lace up a set of boots

Then why did you say this?

He's [Kaka] not even the best player at Milan (Pirlo)

 

[NokkonWud]

I'd say he did pretty well to get £8m for Andy Cole!

Not as bad as some, but he was certainly worth double figures. Andy Cole was about as guaranteed as you get for goals.

 

[Weebull]

People are entitled to their own opinions, but some people have clearly gone to great lengths to pick players from outside the EPL as opposed to possibly picking someone from a rival.

Yeah, that'll be it. In between manipulating the global economy to fund wars around the world that help strengthen their secret cabal's grip on world politics, the posters on this forum like nothing better than to get together and discuss how they can best annoy you by not rating Man Utd players all that highly.

We've been sussed lads. Time to beat a quick retreat to our island fortress.

 

[NokkonWud]

Then why did you say this?

Because Maldini is 38 now? Best player I've ever seen, but he's hardly as good as he was at his age now is he! Think about it.
I also put Pirlo in my top 5.

 

[BaZ87]

Not as bad as some, but he was certainly worth double figures. Andy Cole was about as guaranteed as you get for goals.

You were being serious?

I though most of the players you mentioned (Veron, Rossi, Pique, Cole and even Stam) went for way over the odds.

lol, not quite.
It's just the mention of players like Riquelme over some of the fantastic players Man Utd and Arsenal have both had over the last decade.

If you don't think I'm right on at least some of the mentions you're being naive. Whether it be against Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool etc... I know I was probably guilty of it as I could have easily said Henry, Vieira, Bergkamp, Fabregas etc...
