Most skilful player of all !!! ??

I am now approaching my 50th birthday so I feel comfortable in naming my favourite player .

Zinedine Zidane is without question the player with the most ability inmy humble opinion.

In my early years I loved watching George Best and Pele ... then my affections switched to Zico of Brasil/Brazil for many years UNTIl I saw Zidane !!!

I saw clips of Ferenc Puskás who had an amazing left foot but he looked so unfit and overweight that I didn't think he deserved .

May as well talk about football now that RALPH has deleted the babes forum

Sorry Zincubus... It's only temporary... Once I "clean it up" it'll be put live again! Sorry again for the inconvenience of it being down... It should be back up in the next week or so...

No worries .... ADMIN :)


AS to the thread ...Rivaldo AGREED , the next two were ok ... Baggio and NEDVED ( although he he dives to much for my liking) .

As for Becham and Lampard and Schevchenko - you are having a laff - I hope !!

Ronaldo relies too much on SPEED in my opinion
.

I should add my current fave SKILFUL player is Messi ... he's great now just wait for a few more years !!

Also he doesn't rely solely on speed as Ronaldo does so he should have a longer career.

And Rivaldo doesn't???

The most skillful now, Ronaldo in Man Utd. Of all time Maradona or Cruyff.

Beg to differ about United's Ronaldo !

let's see what he's like after a couple of heavy tackles have slowed him down - without his amazing turn of speed he would be nothing !

........ I actually think that Messi is a better player than Ronaldo and he doesn't rely too much on speed !!

We should define skillful before answering this question.

In my opinion being skillful means being able to create and dictate the game, not just be able to handle the ball.

Therefore i will go with Zedane, not only he was good with the ball but he was also a strategic player. He was all about creating situations that led to a goal.

jeffbrowne74 do you really put shevchenko in the same category then all these great players. I don't think so. You gota be a consistent player to be a skillful one.
