Simple one really, time to get nostalgic!
Be nice to have a thread on here to highlight some of the incredible talents of yester-year... Give me some players that have retired / passed away / or simply some we don't get to see on a weekly basis and you really miss...it could be any player from any club from anywhere in the world... maybe it might be a player you watched as a child and you sat in awe of them, you watched on in amazement at the things they done on the pitch........maybe its a player that was an relative unknown on the world stage but you admired for some reason...maybe it was a players playing style or leadership...
Whomever it was...share it with everyone on here & your reasons for posting them!
Feel free to post Youtube links... be great to have some videos to remember some of their finest Moments....
I'll get the ball rolling...........I'll start off with a Utd man (no surprise there), After my name tag.....
Eric Cantona
He was the missing link to secure that elusive title for Utd after 26 years, but beside all that the man was so charismatic! He walked out on to OT pitch like he owned the place, you got a sense from him that OT was almost built for his sole purpose, to show case to the world his talents...that was his canvas! For me one of my finest Football memories also was his return game against the arch enemy (Liverpool) after being banned for 8 months for attacking a Palace fan at Selhurst Park, I remember going to a local pub with a mate and his dad and the atmosphere in the place was just electric!! It was 50/50 with Supporters of each club there.... OT was just incredible too that day, all the flags, banners and Cantona masks showing support was something I'll never forget!!
Enjoy!
Ronaldo! The Original Ronaldo!!
Of all the players I've ever seen in my life so far, I still think he is the greatest I've ever seen..... Not even Messi or "Our" Ronaldo.... Just incredible, there aren't enough superlatives I could say about him to do him justice! Never have I seen a player with such incredible all round qualities, from his control, his touch, his pace, strength & of course finishing. For a man of his size he moved like a teenage Giggs but carried the strength of a Shearer...If he wanted to score..he did, it was that simple! No stopping him!
Bergkamp
Just a beautiful footballer really, what else can you say! Technically probably one of the greatest to ever play I feel... some of his touches and passing can only be described as pure football porn!!! When Arsenal we're winning the league over Utd I was never Overly bitter with them winning because of Bergkamp really, I could watch the man play all day if it we're possible!
Lets have it folks, share whatever you like!
