Favourite Footballer

robbie fowler at home
ronaldo intl.

When it came to finishiing they were just the best.

Van nistelrooy probabaly the next behind them in that respect.
 
Gerrard is another one for me, I personally put him ahead of Scholes & Lampard.

Was a totally complete footballer imho.
 
Great opposing player seen regularly - Henry - closest Ive seen on a regular basis and was the closet to getting in the closed shop of ultimate footballers like Pele, Maradona, Messi. Honourable mention to Ashley Cole in his Arsenal years.

Greatest opposing player seen only a few times - Zidane, then Platini. Messi wasn't the behemoth then, that he is now.

Greatest enemy - Bryan Robson, Cantona played ok against us, Ronaldo didn't play well against us a lot, before he become the superstar he is.

Greatest red - Gerrard on an overall basis, Luis Suarez for the 2-3 years at his height, better than Kenny.
 
My old boss was a life time die hard Pompey fan.

The best player he saw was Robert Prosinečki in the early 2000's.

He also said that Matt Le Tissier only getting a few caps was a travesty. That from a Pompey fan says enough for me.
 
I think Theres some confusion here judging by the replies between 'Favourite' and 'Best'
Unless your favourite footballer was the best you've seen.

To avoid confusion..

Favourite as a kid - Steve Coppell
Fave overall - Eric.
Best seen - Maradona.
 
Stan Collymore

He did a lot more than just play football........... :whistle:

Favourite footballer - Howie

Thursday night football, astro turf, 7-8 pm, Hope college 1998-2010 - we were telepathic.:thup:

BTW, not that big lump who played for Newcastle.;)

I always loved the classy midielders who could read the game and intercept rather than do big mad flying tackles. Ronnie Whelan, Didi Hamann and most favourite - Nigel Spackman.
 
Best I ever saw......Ronaldo (Brazilian). In a Utd Shirt, Paul Scholes or Eric.Edit...if its "my" favourite , then I'd go for Eric.
 
Favourite player... Geordie Armstrong...


Best seen in the PL... Dennis Bergkamp...

Best seen back in the day... Georgie Best, Joe Baker, Rodney Marsh, Bobby Charlton et al [Too bloomin' difficult to just pick one!]
 
My favourite player was Gazza. Went to see him play a few times when was at Spurs. Met him twice once with Jimmy 5 when they came to the sports shop I worked part time in and had a game of kick ups with him and another time when me and a mate went to watch Question of Sport and he was a guest. 2 very different times of his life, the meeting at QOS was very sad as he looked very ill and had aged dramatically. Up there with the best I've seen live.

Favourite ever Bradford player would be between Carbone and Stuart McGod McCall. Seeing him come through the ranks as a very raw 18 year old and mixing it with Division 4 sluggers was amazing to see.
