Greatest ever....

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Keeper

 

Absolute f***ing bobbins, won't even bother reading the rest of the positions

[Epic Swindle]

No Schemical, and not even a mention of Clemence. Paul Wilson is a bitter blue.

It's keepers who have won the World Cup only.

 

For some f***ing reason.

Yashin never won one and he's in there

Well indeed, but he whitters on about "breaking his own rule" or some such crap. i.e. it's only world cup winners except for the non-world cup winner I decide to put in anyway.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Still then - no Reina?

 

And it's a s*** rule - ergo how many top, top players do you omit from other positions, George Best being the oft-quoted example (never even went to one)

[Raj]

Who cares. Its proper s****

Read the defenders selection? The stuff said about Maldini deserves shooting.

As for Paolo Maldini, his enduring renown can to a large extent be attributed to an instinct far more hollow than the understandable tendency to appreciate a defender's attacking prowess more than his defensive fortitude. It was his handsomeness, more than his performances, that lead to him being held in higher esteem than more effective peers such as Jürgen Kohler. Maldini was a very good player, not a great player (indeed, at Euro 96 he was made to look a very goofy player by Karel Poborsky, no less). Essentially, Maldini was a dishy Gary Neville. The defensive David Beckham.

 

Who the f*** is Paul Doyle?

 

The midfielders:

 

Johan Neeskens (Holland), Dave Mackay (Scotland), Lothar Matthäus (West Germany), Marco Tardelli (Italy)

Some of this is absolutely ridiculous. Marco Tardelli.....good player but come on. However, the forwards are.....

 

Maradona playing behind Ronaldo (real).

 

Pretty decent I must say.

[Damian_de]

Good to Lucio make one of the 4 best defenders of all time. Agree about the insanity of the Maldini comments.

 

I know that these things are 'supposed to cause a debate' but stuff like picking Lucio is just being wilfully full of s****.

[guernseygareth]

thought this was going to be about that show $ky have been running, king's episode was ace as had been t'others I've seen, till I saw Macca's description and realised it was that nonsense from the grauniad designed to get their traffic up.

[floyd]

Why do journalist do list like these, because it exposes them, as the fvckin idiots they are

[Stevie H]

attention-seeking sh*te designed to drive traffic to the guardian's increasingly desperate blogs section. any editor worth his salt would have told doyle to shove those maldini comments up that hole he talks out of.

[kop205]

It is by Paul Wilson.

 

What did people expect?

[doug_mac]

barthez was sh!te:lol:

 

with the back four france had of thuram,desailly,blanc,lizarazu all in their pomp i could have been in goal myself and they would still have won the world cup

[Woodsyla]

It's keepers who have won the World Cup only.

 

For some f***ing reason.

and then for the next section he has players who got nowhere f***ing near a World Cup. Dave Mackay FFS.
