Ronaldinho comes to mind
Kahn was someone with an anger management problem, who went about his ways unchecked, because he was a Germany and Bayern legend. In football people like to equate bullying and abusiveness with leadership.
Frank Stapleton is charismatic?Got to be Cantona, closely followed by the real King, Denis Law.
Other teams: Gunter Netzer, Rodney Marsh, Tony Currie, Frank Stapleton (all from the same era)
From the modern day: Zlatan
Shearer? He's dull as dishwater isn't he?- Shearer
Pogba is charismatic. Heard Julie Roberts gushing over him anyway.Obviously not in the all time list but for current players Grealish is up there.
Pogba is very charismatic too.
How can you dismiss Zlatan as being charismatic then proceed to mention the likes of Pogba, Henry, and Joe Cole? They might have some swagger on a football pitch but they definitely are not charismatic off-field. Depends on what you mean by charisma though. On or off-field.Zlatan is more caricature than charismatic.
Zola was charismatic. Lee Sharpe, Ginola, Gazza, Pepe Reina, Henry, Eric of course. Pogba, Evra in many ways. Di Canio, Joe Cole. Maradona many have said. Seba Veron was a charismatic bastard everywhere he played apart from England, language barrier perhaps.
I was thinking, when he's on the field; players looked at to him, and opponents respected him. But yeh, him as a pundit isn't shining with persona.Shearer? He's dull as dishwater isn't he?
I suppose it's because when he opens his mouth, all that on field charisma seeps away immediately. His monotone, drippy way of talking goes against him in the 'compelling charm' stakes.How can so many have an issue with Beckham being called charismatic? I think people have this idea that a colourful personality is charismatic, but it’s much more than that.
adjective
adjective: charismatic
exercising a compelling charm which inspires devotion in others.
"a charismatic leader"
It doesn’t get anymore charismatic than that.
There was something special about him from the moment he burst onto the scene. United supporters not thinking Becks is charismatic is madness to me.
Ok I was pushing it a bitFrank Stapleton is charismatic?
Frank Stapleton? You mean Frank Worthington?Got to be Cantona, closely followed by the real King, Denis Law.

Half of that Chelsea team of the 70's were charismatic.Trying to think of Chelsea's most charismatic, Gullit probably, super cool when when he was playing.
Most modern footballers are boring feckers. Zlatan is probably the most charismatic currently playing.
Which stories are those? He was by all accounts a very, hm, unique personality that was solely focused on football (and even more so, on dribbling), who hardly had any meaningful interactions with anyone. If you're talking about the way he is/was cherished by Brazilians then it has more to do with his pure obsession with football/joga bonito as an opposite to a marketing-oriented Pelé; not with his individual charisma.Garrincha (I’ve heard stories)
I loved Currie. The only player I didn’t instantly hate on signing for Leeds.Got to be Cantona, closely followed by the real King, Denis Law.
