Thedelldays Posted 12 June, 2011 Posted 12 June, 2011 which group of footy players would you class as the greatest ever... pele maradona Zidane messi cruyff michael laudrup best..? charlton moore eusebio
Turkish Posted 12 June, 2011 Posted 12 June, 2011 add to that list Di Stefano Paulo Maldini Ronaldo (the goofy one, not cristiano) Beckenbaur
revolution saint Posted 12 June, 2011 Posted 12 June, 2011 Puskas Platini Could also make a good case for Gullit and Van Basten, and Rummenigge
Badger Posted 12 June, 2011 Posted 12 June, 2011 Gerd Muller Gunther Netzer The Dutch team 1974 Brazil 1970 - names Jarzinho,Rivelino,Tostao stick in my mind from that (childhood) World Cup Alan Ball -( watch the 1966 Final on DVD again).
Thedelldays Posted 12 June, 2011 Author Posted 12 June, 2011 what about the woulda/coulda/shoulda's.... those who should have made it to that list but for some reason..injury or what ever...never did GAZZA
revolution saint Posted 12 June, 2011 Posted 12 June, 2011 what about the woulda/coulda/shoulda's.... those who should have made it to that list but for some reason..injury or what ever...never did GAZZA Lothar Matthius never seems to be mentioned as a great. I'd probably go for the '82 Brazil squad in the should have been great category as well
Jonnyboy Posted 12 June, 2011 Posted 12 June, 2011 Gerd Muller Gunther Netzer The Dutch team 1974 Brazil 1970 - names Jarzinho,Rivelino,Tostao stick in my mind from that (childhood) World Cup Alan Ball -( watch the 1966 Final on DVD again). Jan Poortvlieet?
revolution saint Posted 12 June, 2011 Posted 12 June, 2011 That's why the 82 Brazil squad should have been great.
Thedelldays Posted 12 June, 2011 Author Posted 12 June, 2011 alan shearer..had he signed for man u and contested regularly in the champions league... christiano ronaldo...if he did not appear to be as greedy on the ball
Smirking_Saint Posted 12 June, 2011 Posted 12 June, 2011 Christiano and Messi deserve to be well up there TBF Raul ??
Badger Posted 12 June, 2011 Posted 12 June, 2011 Jan Poortvlieet? No, I think his 'moment' was in 1978 when Archie Gemmill made a monkey of him.
Turkish Posted 13 June, 2011 Posted 13 June, 2011 (edited) Baggio? Del Piero? Baggio i agree with, not Del Piero though, always thought he was over rated. Cafu, you dont get 142 caps for Brazil and play in 3 world cup finals without being a great player. Edited 13 June, 2011 by Turkish
sadoldgit Posted 13 June, 2011 Posted 13 June, 2011 Mario Kempes seems to have been forgotten but he was awesome.
Hatch Posted 13 June, 2011 Posted 13 June, 2011 Was Pele really that good, on what basis do people make this decision. How many games have people seen him play.
sambosa75 Posted 13 June, 2011 Posted 13 June, 2011 alan shearer..had he signed for man u and contested regularly in the champions league... christiano ronaldo...if he did not appear to be as greedy on the ball Whats this fixation with The Champions League? 3/4 of the sides in it are mid table standard in the Premier League at best. The fact Shearer scored such a monstrous amount of goals without playing for Man Utd makes his record even more impressive. His goals record will stand the test of time which in my opinion puts him up there with THE very best strikers in history.
Trevor in Vancouver Posted 19 June, 2011 Posted 19 June, 2011 Garrincha. Better than most previously listed here.

Huffton Posted 19 June, 2011 Posted 19 June, 2011 Banks? Jennings? Shilton? Zoff? Niemi? Casillas? You're all racist against keepers...FFS

I stand by what I say. 75% of the sides competing in the Champions League are mid table Premier League standard as best. The 2 also rans from Spain every season, any team from France that isn't Lyon, pretty much any German side, any Dutch side, none of the Italian sides would finish top 4 in England (Obviously Inter would have under Mourinho). That's why I dont get it. It's over-rated and is only interesting when the likes of Man Utd, Barcelona and Real Madrid play eachother.
