If I have to choose one player then without doubt Torres at Liverpool. I detest Liverpool, but I loved watching Torres in his prime. My favourite kind of striker.
See when I think of Torres against us, it's not the Vidic games that come to mind. One is a goal against us at Anfield where he rinsed Rio and scored at the Kop end. The other was a brilliant header he scored at the Stretford End. Might be blown out of proportion, but he's definitely a player I admired when he was at Liverpool.The myth Torres always terrorised us is based purely on about 2 games where Vidic had a nightmare. He was usually contained him really well.
Essien definitely. I used to moan about his 'tackling' but was secretly green with envy seeing him power Chelsea's engine room while we started to struggle to identify good midfielders.More recently TAA.
An academy product that’s going to be world class for a very long time. Will be interesting to see his career develop
Envious as well of Ballack (free transfer) and Essien when he was a machine at Chelsea
I have to admit that when opposition fans dish out stick (or sometimes even pretty unsavoury abuse) to Vardy, which only gees him up and invariably leads to him scoring and then taunting those fans with his goal celebration, I love it and think 'good on you pal'.Jamie Vardy. Little scrote but can't not admire what he's managed to do with his career. I think his first season in the PL with Leicester he was 27 in 2014-15 and he'd only been playing at a level higher than League 2 since the age of 24/25. Since 2015-16 season he's managed 94 goals in 158 games and his record against the big sides is quality.
I remember being in the first row of the North Stand when we were playing Chelsea, we were in the ground well earlier than kick off and the chelsea team were warming up, Drogba had this vest top on and he was doing sprints. It was a sunny day and hot out, he was like a feckin thorough bred horse coming at me and turning on the line - I was probaly what 6 or 8 ft away from him. Absolute beast of a human. Scary his actual size.Lampard. Absolutely not Gerrard, and not really Terry either.
Drogba you always knew was a hell of a player, even if he was a complete shithouse as well.
David Silva and Aguero are both sublime and its massively disappointing that they remained loyal to City all these years. Kompany too.
Love it @SteveJ, love it.Too many to list but I'll go for Bergkamp.
As for managers...I'd choose Keegan, and not only for his attacking philosophy. In a world where managers - even painfully average ones - are so big-headed that they address themselves in the Third-Person, Keegan had humility & could admit his flaws; a rare thing indeed.
Love it @SteveJ, love it.
I can imagine, I saw it was the anniversary of it on Twitter and Sport Bible or something had the rant, still gives me a great chuckle
I read recently that Keegan still gets that shouted at him wherever he goes.
