Was that the one against us for Barcelona in a pre-season friendly? I was amazed that Muscat didn’t take matters into his own hands to stop him.Luis Figo
I'm glad I'm not alone in my view on him. Definitely a player that looked better live than on the tv.Robin Van Persie up close. Speed of thought was so quick
@wwfc9 legend has it you got Figo shirt after the gameWas that the one against us for Barcelona in a pre-season friendly? I was amazed that Muscat didn’t take matters into his own hands to stop him.
Snap!Done a fair bit of travelling to watch football over the years. Pep era Barcelona with Messi, Xavi Etc were all great. Saw fat Ronaldo when at Milan and CR7 at United and Madrid but head and shoulders above (for me) was Zidane. For the size of him he glided across the pitch like he was in slippers. For me he’s the total footballer, he could play any outfield position and be utterly amazing.
Whenever anyone asks the immortal “Ronaldo or Messi” my answer is always Zidane!!
I showed my 15 year old lad some YouTube footage of Zidane recently and he literally sat there open mouthed at some of the things he did. It often gets overlooked because of his attacking qualities but he was brilliant defensively as well.Snap!
Messi, Mbappé and Ronaldo (skimmed), are all stunning.
But the magician was Zidane. He could take a pass at full speed, without breaking speed, and then do magic with it.
Not petulant like the others either, (give or take the odd headbutt).
Sadly never saw George Best live. He could do everything Zidane could, (and whilst being ****ed).
Crikey ! You've see them all?Gento, puskas, Pele, Eusebio, Socrates, Iniesta,Pirlo, Platini,
I was at that game. Few of us went on the train and my mate drove. Left on 88 mins to “miss the traffic”. I’ve never let him live it downBeckham in that crucial qualifier against Greece at Old Trafford. Didn't really rate him before that but he was utterly outstanding for 90 minutes and ran his legs off, even ignoring the last minute goal.
Yep I was there, on the steps ready to leg it out after Becks would no doubt balloon it over the bar...how wrong we were. Ended up in the middle of Manchester, in what was known a the time at a T *tty Bar Got talking to an "old boy" who had been to the match. I was gushing and asked him was that the best game he had every been to. No was his stern reply, why not I retorted indignantly ? Well that would be the final in 1966 be dryly replied..!! Trumped indeed...I was at that game. Few of us went on the train and my mate drove. Left on 88 mins to “miss the traffic”. I’ve never let him live it down
We got carried away after the game (we were early 20s) and missed the last train back to Birmingham. So we did the only sensible thing, drank in a load of moody late night “bars” until 6am to get a train home.Yep I was there, on the steps ready to leg it out after Becks would no doubt balloon it over the bar...how wrong we were.

He’s never let me forget that but he’s an Albion ****er so **** him !!!@wwfc9 legend has it you got Figo shirt after the game
Still haven’t fathomed out who you are after all this time !! We must know each other fairly well for you to know that story though@wwfc9 legend has it you got Figo shirt after the game
WowGento, puskas, Pele, Eusebio, Socrates, Iniesta,Pirlo, Platini,
Totally agree with you ..At his peak the best centre forward I have seen.....what a great documentary The Phenomenon Ronaldo was......and Christ didn't you feel for him..... awesome playerI was lucky enough to see George Best and Bobby Moore live but they were both towards the end of their careers. My dad always said that George Best was by far the best player he saw.
For me De Bruyne against us is the best single performance by a player I’ve witnessed in the flesh.
Best player in my lifetime is undoubtedly the real Ronaldo (have some respect those calling him the ‘fat one’) would have been the greatest of all time if his knees had held out
Agree about R9. He was unbelievable, had the pace and power of Cristiano Ronaldo and greater dribbling ability at speed than Messi imo. Would have been the greatest ever and by a bit of a margin too.I was lucky enough to see George Best and Bobby Moore live but they were both towards the end of their careers.

An epic example of what can happen when a player is forced to play when not fit. Deeply sad.Agree about R9. He was unbelievable, had the pace and power of Cristiano Ronaldo and greater dribbling ability at speed than Messi imo. Would have been the greatest ever and by a bit of a margin too.
That was the best side Walsall ever put out.Gento, puskas, Pele, Eusebio, Socrates, Iniesta,Pirlo, Platini,
Dirty ****er too.I saw Zidane completely dominate England at Wembley in a comfortable French victory. I think Anelka got the goals. France were World Champions at the time and they coasted to victory.
I’d never realised how big and strong Zidane was, I just always had him down as a footballing poet. He could’ve played in clogs that night and would probably still have been the best player on the pitch.
