Excellent list and I would like to say that Michael Owen will be on that list too in a few years time,when he breaks the England goal scoring record. The guy is THE most natural goalscorer on the planet.I'm trying to think who else to include,but you have pretty much included everyone I would have. Ummm,maybe Luis Figo?? He has been amazing,a personal fave of mine.

Have a cool click back!
Yeah, I kind of agree with you about Del Piero... He hasn't been the same since he injured his knee in 1998, but before that, he was lethal. He has one of the best techniques ever. He was so creative and dangerous around the box and he could score lots too... especially from dead ball situations. Hard to know if what he did in the years leading up to 1998 was enough to rank him up with the best.
One guy who I just rememberd and who I left off my list was Gianfranco Zola! He was a master! Almost Maradona-esque dribbling skills and an awesome finisher too.
-
Re: Best footballers of the past 25 years
I think Zola was amazing!! I remember a back heel goal from a conrner as a memorable goal!!

Re: Best footballers of the past 25 years
Gabriel Batistuta is the best finisher I've ever seen awesome striker

100% agreed on Zidane.
He could do things with a football that I've never seen anyone do before or after... he always looked so comfortable with the ball at his feet. He never did anything at speed, but he seemed to always have more time than anyone... almost like he was in slow motion!
The goal he scored against Leverkusen in the 2001/2002 Champions League final is one of the best goals I have ever seen. Full volley, from a nightmare angle on his 'weaker' foot from just outside the box... unbelievable.

He was world class. One of the best strikers of the 90's, no question.
-
Re: Best footballers of the past 25 years
Zizou was an artist,watching him play at his peak was a pleasure.He could turn the game single handedly.Roberto Baggio is 1 of my faves too,what did the Italians call him?The divine Ponytail! Even towards the end of his career,at Brescia,he was still pulling the strings!! I think he was a brilliant player for a long long period of time!

Re: Best footballers of the past 25 years
ZZ won every major championship he played for, that says enough
