Favourite Footballer

[Beezerk]

Best player in a Wednesday kit I've seen is Chris Waddle, such a classy footballer. Had zero pace but the drop of his shoulder got him that yard of space to get the cross in or go past a defender. Sadly a decent first touch and ability to go past players with skill rather than just sheer pace, seem to be gone in English football these days.

Best: Christiano Ronaldo Nobody comes even close (to date)

Fav: Stevie Burr (Macc Town) Scorer of THE greatest goal I've ever seen and still carry around in my head and will tell anyone about it given the slightest opportunity.

Kenny Dalglish was my hero as a kid. Easy to forget just how good he was.

I also love(d) players that made it look effortless, Paulo Maldini was one of those, such a good footballer he could probably have played anywhere in defence or midfield.

I remember there being at one point a clamour from Kenny to be dropped from the Scotland team. And why? He kept giving the ball away...until it was pointed out that he was doing just what he did for Liverpool - the only difference being that the other Scotland players - great as they might well have been - were way behind Kenny in their thinking. All the time he was playing the brilliant ball - but the others were a little bit too slow on the uptake to take advantage - and so it looked like Kenny was just giving it away

Yeah, I've heard he's a legend down that way. I'll never forget him hitting the post against germany in the wc semi final. How the ball went to safety I'll never know.

Definitely not true that, look at players such as David Silva, Deli Alli, Juan Mata.
None of them are particularly fast but all aptly get round defenders.

When I said English football I meant English players lol. Maybe Deli Alli is an exception but I haven't seen enough of him to judge.

Always thought Jack Wilshere’s not the quickest but always seems to go round opponents well.
Lallana is probably another English player who the ball just seems to glue to and is an excellent dribbler despite really having above average pace.
& then Alli as I mentioned before.

I only quoted players I saw. I never saw Best at his prime but loved his cameo at the Cottage. I use to love Beckenbauer when Germany were on the telly. Effortless and commanding
