For me its Ronaldinho. He just edges it infront of Zidane for me. Unfortunately he didn't take football seriously enough though and loved to.party, but for 3 years at Barca i dont think any player can ever replicate his ability, he was an absolute machine. Obviously Ronaldo and Messi need to be in the mix aswell but it gets boring talking about them 2
I think the best player of all time is Messi. But my favourite player of all time is probably the original Ronaldo, bloke had it all.
For me it is Johan Cruyff. He had a bit of arrogance about him but was good enough to carry it off. He was also a great leader/captain, and led from the front!
I'd go with proper Ronaldo. Certainly in my lifetime anyway. Zidane is second without a doubt. He was unreal. After that I'd be looking at Bobby Baggio and Maldini.
Zidane was unbelievable. Fergie apparently refused to sign him after watching him play for Bordeaux and having him on trial because he thought 2m was too much to pay lol
This video is 1min 29 second long. The first 20 seconds are all you need to watch. Pace, power, physique, technical abilities and a smile on his face. An absolute joy to watch.
Proper Ronaldo at Barcelona when they were bouncing off him from the halfway line age about 21. Unreal
Obviously Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have to be up there but the best in my lifetime is Ronaldo Nazário, the bloke had everything. Opposition used to kick the **** out of him and he just came back for more, but somehow even stronger. Moving away from strikers, Paolo Maldini is the best defender I’ve ever seen.
This is correct Daz. Maldini in defence, Zizou in midfield with Ronaldo up top. Not a bad 5-a-side team is it. And I've only named 3 of them. I'd have Buffon in goal and throw Rui Costa in there just for giggles.
