Dunno if this will go anywhere as a thread but lets see.
I was thinking the other day - how many players in your lifetime/whatever could you safely say the above line about and most people would generally agree? I don't think you could say it right now, because if as many people would say KDB for Mane or Salah, so what about historically?
For me I only came up with 2 definites and a few possibles
- Definitely Ronaldo around 2008
- Definitely Thierry Henry around 2004
- Probably Robin Van Persie in 2012 (Though Bale was doing his thing at that time too)
- Probably Cantona around 96 (or maybe 94) was probably it, though could have competition from other members of our team.
- Hazard also probably could fit the bill a few years ago
So what does the Caf think? and what about for other leagues? I know for example that everyone said it for Bruno in the Portuguese league.
