I agree with you, but only because Alex is my favourite player and really was something else. But I really would like to say Buffon because of two reasons:
1) It annoys me that attacking players always recieve the glory, when there's so much more to this game.
And the game has only evolved to the benefit of attacking players.
2) Goalkeepers are the only ones (maybe alongside defenders) I find it ok to compare with footballers from a different time, cause I think todays keepers are better, than the old ones, because of the developement of balls and a more attatcking orientated game.
I'll add a third one: He also managed to maintain a world class level from an era we all praise till todays football. That's why I also rate Maldini and Nesta ones of the best of the game.
