Must lose points though for bottling out of that penalty for Deportivo

[fyds]

Are we talking seen 'in the flesh' or on TV?

[_00_deathscar]

Well how much of their flesh have you seen?

[anfield11]

Where the hell is Batistuta on that list?

Really weird that Cantona is there but no place for Batigoal

[FakeNewsBear]

never really seen him knew he was great but had limited exposure to him................

 

and its if you have seen them play full games not just goals

[Elisha_Scott]

For what its worth the programme that I am researching for will be produced and release next year, there are some controversial ones in the top 25 in that too. C Ronaldo no less. At least the King is in there, you can imagine how much of a chore it was for me reading and watching everything about him

Has nobody mentioned Maradonna ??

 

I think the few years between 1986 and 1988 in hindsight were a mini-golden period for football, highlights being Maradonna at Mexico 86 and Van Basten ay Euro 88 in Germany. Still remember that volley from Van Basten like it was y'day, unf***believable.

Never seen Steve Coppell or Paul McGrath 'in the flesh' or I'd probably have put them in too.

[growler]

actually surprised I missed Batistuta on my list. One of my favourites.

 

Also, surprised not more had Edgar Davids on their list. Awesome player to watch.
