All time best I've watched: Henry, Bergkamp although Sanchez may be close to the non-flying dutchmen for sheer natural talent.

Notable faves: Overmars (quickest player I've ever seen in the flesh), Vieira.

However, the award goes to: Emmanuel Eboue.

Bergkamp. Fabulous player, along with Ian Wright. Now ? Meh. Not bothered.

Good thread. I've just been on North Bank Chat. Interestingly enough, they have gone for Ward, Crumplin and Lua Lua.

Sanchez and Santi, right now. Great skills, and seem to ENJOY the game. Sanchez seems to be an absolutely TOP bloke, too.

Of all time, Perry Groves and Steve Morrow, obviously.

I thought you would have given honourable mention to one Mr. Steve Gatting who would have lined up alongside yourself at the Goldstone.

Dennis Bergkamp for being flairtastic. You merely need to Google "Bergkamp, goal" to get this.



There is also one I recall in a European game where he had his back to the goal but still managed to lob the goalkeeper to score. Can't find it on YouTube though.

Liam Brady for not saying "bu**er this, i'm off" after being sacked/resigning but sticking around and helping save the club. Will have to re-read "BAB" and "WWF" to remind myself of the facts.

This Bergkamp goal is almost worth it for the Dutch commentator alone who has his Bjørge Lillelien (Wiki him) moment.
