its just that it makes it way too easy. Only @giorno should have that privilege.Thought Henry was an amazing player but couldn’t stand him at the same time (because I couldn’t stand anyone I that Arsenal team at the time).
RvP was another, and as Arsenal were little to no threat at the time I allowed myself to like him.

Ronaldinho
The most entertaining player I’ve ever seen, full of skill and an aura that he could create a goal or anything from nothing. Whenever he was on the ball, you just knew he had the ability to do anything he wanted with it. I will always remember that joy on his face playing this sport on that pitch. You could see he was just having fun and that translated across those watching, making you forget for a brief moment he was playing for your biggest rival.
Especial mention to Puyol.
A top class dude and CB, always a gentleman.

Has to be Henry for me. Also liked RvP so I was ecstatic when we signed him.
Raheem Sterling. Love him!
Could watch KdB pick passes for hours.
Ian Rush.
Great striker and the couple of times I met him seemed a good lad.

Yaya Toure & Didier Drogba
Man City - Aguero
Liverpool - Robbie Keane, Torres
Chelsea - Ashley Cole, Crespo, Zola
Arsenal - Ljungberg, Walcott
current players maybe De Bruyne, Salah

Aguero. Best striker the Premier League has seen and a joy to watch his movement and finishing. He's one kids should be watching to see how to play the game.
Anders Limpar or Roy Wegerle. Both played football with a smile.
Suarez, gotta love a certified baller.
Always was Robben for me.
Oh and Diego Costa. An absolute arsehole but what a 100% player we would have loved him wearing red.

Don't ask the fans of the club he's just put out of business about him.
Horrible person, hate him at Liverpool but he was so good it made it hard too keep hating him
can't be serious
Suarez has been on my shit list ever since his handball vs Ghana. Him joining 'pool was basically icing on the shit cake.
Quality striker? Yes. Despise him? 100%.
Aguero. Brilliant to watch and seemed like a funny guy.
Hard to go for only one. I think Zidane, although I don’t know if Juve and Real fit the definitions of rivals.
Close second and third would be Romario and Ronaldo, players I loved who didn’t play for United.
Of the currently active players, I think Benzema would’ve been a huge success here.

Henry 100% during his time. David Silva too, for sure, he was so good. Salah is brilliant tbh I actually like him better than Torres and Suarez.
Kanté has to be there that is guy is just lovable.

Third best player of the last decade for me. As good a player as he is a horrible person.
KDB, Kante, VVD now
Henry, Shearer, Smith before he joined us,

None.
I liked a few before they joined our rivals though, for example:
Thierry Henry at (Monaco)
Fernando Torres (A. Madrid)
Sergio Aguero (A. Madrid)
Chris Sutton (Norwich)
Ian Wright (Palace)
Zola (Parma)

Kante. Absolute gem of a guy
Always quite liked Kompany, for some reason.
Ronaldo when he was a RM player
Ha, I was going to mention him.
I have an older brother who's a City fan and he'd show me videos of him back in t'day. Those old VHS tapes, baby!
steven reginald gerrard.
My daughter has met him and his wife on holiday and reckons they’re really nice people.
Accent aside, I quite enjoy his studio punditry. I really wish he’d stay off co-commentating though.
ex United don’t count. Who was the Finnish forward who played at Liverpool for a bit? The only Dipper I’ve had any time for. Litmanen, that’s him.
Tony Currie. I wish it had been us rather than Leeds that had signed him from Sheffield United.
I found Ray Houghton hard to dislike even though he played for Liverpool. Imagine my delight when Souness binned him off to Villa; Liverpool struggled in his absence while Villa propspered.

El Hadji Diouf was the one for me.
The spitting, horrible attitude, generally hateful ex Liverpool guy?!
Xabi Alonso. Despite playing for teams I proper dislike, always had a soft spot for the classy fecker
Yeah was a real toss up between himself and Craig Bellamy to know which one I loved more.The spitting, horrible attitude, generally hateful ex Liverpool guy?!
De Bruyne
Have to join in with those who say Kante. The guy seems to be a class act.
If you like football, you just cannot not have the utmost respect and admiration for Paolo Maldini.
2005 CL final was the sweetest schadenfreude of the millennium for an Inter fan, yet that night a part of me couldn't shake being so sad for old man Maldini - for if Milan won that trophy with him scoring the oldest CL final goal ever in the very first minute of the game, most probably he would've finally won such a deserved Ballon d'Or that year.
Regarding Juventus, I have an almost maldinesque level of reverence for the figure of Gaetano Scirea, even if I was just barely too young to see him on the field.
