Who is the best player of your era?

[Commander]

Following on from the Pele v Marradonna thread (Like a lot of people on here I am not old enough to remember Pele, and didn't see Marradonna at his best), who would you say is the best player that you have ever seen?

Cantona is the most gifted player I have seen, and I still think he is the best player to ever play in the Premiership. Nowadays I think Ronaldhinio is the best.

Your views please.

Gordon Banks was the best keeper I saw in action too.

Geoff Thomas, even being a Brighton fan I was astounded at his all round ability

I have hopes that it will be Rooney, lifting the cup for Engerland. Yeah, right, but hope is the last thing to die.

Totally agree with you there Commander.
Cantona reigned supreme in the 90's .
Keegan was THE player of the 70's .
Not too sure about the 80's .
That's when I went walkabout .

 

[Trufflehound]

Pele.

Or Mark Farrington - can't decide.

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

Peter Ward best Albion player I've seen.
Eric Cantona best player of my era so far.

1st Ronaldinho
2nd Zidane
3rd Ronaldo

70's was the great Peter O'sullivan or Sully as he was affectionately known.
