Yes Kaiser, youre probably right about Scifo been a tad too high on my list but he definetly was a talented boy and if he played for Italy like he should have, i am in no doubt Italy would have won the wc in 90 Didn't pick Di Stephano cos to me he is Argentine and indeed played for them I...

Okay I am not going to include goal keepers (sorry Ian) as I just cannot compare them to outfield players 1 Zidane 2 Platini 3 Cruyff 4 Beckenbauer 5 Best 6 Van Basten 7 Eusebio 8 Baresi 9 Mattheus 10 Puskas 11 Maldini 12 Charles 13 Scirea 14 Suarez 15 Laudrup M 16 Hagi 17...

Really who were the magical player you saw in the 70s , enlighten me with their names Yes the game is more athletic now than classy but there are still some very good players around But I still stand by the fact that Zidane is the best European player I have ever seen and just to show you...

Well for me he is in fact the best player to have come from Europe and I totally agree with it as I am yet to see any player who can caress a football and do whatever he wants with the ball The fact that the guy lacks pace but can still find room to do whatever he wants in this era is a...

4) Marco Van Basten . Oh well , for me thoroughly deserved, as he was the finest player to don the number9 shirt imo A great scorer who was also a fabulous footballer, tragedy to football that his career was curtailed by injury and sad that he has no world cup goal to his name

5) Dino Zoff , okay there have been some baffling decisions but this takes the biscuit. I do not remember Zoff ever been voted European player of the year and I think its probably down to the sentiment that he was 40 when he captained Italy to the wc I do think Zoff was an excellent goalkeeper...

8) Lev Yashin musta been one helluva of a goal keeper to be placed ahead of Platini and other erstwhile players he beat to that spot Don't know much about this as methinks its way too high

12) Paolo Rossi, a bit too high for me 11) Puskas probably deserved as he had a wonderful left foot 10) Maldini, I knew he would be the highest placed Italian, not better than Baresi but for me the finest left back ever 9) Platini, now, I am shocked beyond words, he ought to be rated higher...

15) Lothar Mattheus, I wonder how much higher he would have finished if he had the good grace to retire at the right time, not carry on and become a caricature of his former great self. Still one of the all time great box to box midfielders though 14) Bobby Charlton still England's highest...

Football fans do not underate players, authorities always do He might not have had Beckenbauer's charisma, but for me he was a finer defender than Beckenbauer was, the best I ever saw He hardly panicked under any pressure, I never saw him boot a ball to roll z and he made me like the offside...

17 is Franco Baresi, surely the most underrated player ever, how can he be 17 and I am sure Maldini would be higher 16 is Karl Heinz Rummenigge

Number 19 George Best and number 18 was is Gerd Muller

Number20 Kevin Keegan, I am so happy for him as he was my childhood hero

Number 21 Frank Rijkaard, well this is deserved as he was very underrated and lived int he shadow of his more popular and more charismatic teamates MVB and Gullit I wonder how great he might have turned out if he remained in what I thought was his best position as a central defender

Number 22 David Beckham, well to say Beckham is better than Michael Laudrup, Baggio and Moore is amking a mockery of the whole thing imo

I was refering to Michael not the fake version who did his best work at Rangers and spent 6 minutes at Chelsea:D I would not be too surprised not to see Vialli's name at all on the list as I cannot see him being voted higher than Baggio Looking thru the list theres only one player I had...

2 more names have come up and they are at 24)Roberto Baggio and at 23) Bobby Moore I bet from now on Mate stops looking at that website Well I did say Baggio would be fortunate to get into top 10 , guess I was right I am disapponted to see Laudrup at 25 though as he definitely should be...

Actually Schuster played for Athletico Madrid not Bilbao, don't know what my mind was on when I said that. I do not remember Seeler's style of play at all and I think the average German would tell you that Schuster was more naturally talented than Rumenigge and Mattheus but as you rightly said...

Bernd Schuster is regarded as one of the most talented Germans ever, its just that he always fought with authorities so much thats why he didn't play as much for the national team, he played in the euro champs in Italy in 1980 and thats about it he fought with the German Fa He starred fro Real...
