Also, a question like this is to subjective... how do you class a player?

To often the guys who do the nitty gritty get left out of the great list... when is the last time you really seen a defender really put into the debate of the best footballer? everyone thinks of the flash goal scorers, the creative midfielders... yet hardly ever will you hear of a claude makale get a mention (not saying claude is up there with them) but the guy does his job as good as anyone has done... Look a real madrid with him - best team in the world hands down at the time, he leaves they go CRAP and anyone will tell u it was down to claude leaving...

Same for a centre back, guys like yapp stam having been doing the job for years, you know when they have left teams, ask anyone man utd fan if they could of kept one player who would it of been, 90% would of said stam coz he was that damn fucking good... lots of other defenders out there throught the years of done the job but people look past them

The question should be who was the most flash or the best attacking player of all time, coz that is what it all comes down to really....

Once upon a time football was my life, a barly missed a match, there was no news i hadn't heard and all we would do in our breaks in school or nights would debate this and that...

NOw i barly give a fuck about it, has turned into such a shitly run, corrupt money hungry sport its hardly worth watching it except for the seldom bit matches...

I'll tune into the CL around the time of the semis and watch it, will watch a match of two of the big 4 are in it, but other than that i find my self to frustrated with the general game, what with those fucking idiot manager always whining about how hard they get it, never getting help, referees picking on them and not giving them decisons, yet when they get a dubious as fuck call classic answer is "i havn't seen it yet" but when their player goes down with no1 around him for adleast 10meters they somehow magicly seen him get hacked!

Then we have the ref blowing up to give something and him being surounded by half the fucking team and he has almost no power to sort it out... divers costing teams millions (few season ago at the end of the season ashley coal dived got arsenal a pen to draw with liverpool - coz of thet liverpool lost thie rplace in the CL and around 10-20 million£!!!!)

Gomez/Hill ,Great watch.
Gomez looks like a young Odl eh,style wise too.

Wasnt that a cool timed shot, Hill disguised the shot coming from himself !
He poked out that left with his shoulder extended and in an overexagerated front stance and then went square shouldered expecting to throw with the other hand and Gomezez right followed his left as it retracted.
Love it. cc.

I voted Pele, but everyone knows the greatest and most talented footballer who has ever lived has been Carlton Palmer.
