Who is the most complete footballer ever?

[Heam44]

As in the best all rounder - passing, shooting, dribbling, tackling, running, heading etc etc

Alternatively, who could play every position (ignoring GK) the best?

I’d have to say Steven Gerrard.

I’d imagine he’d have been a premier league player no matter what position he played. Probably not many players who that applies to.

 

[Midlands_Boro]

I think James milner has played every position barring gk. He's obviously not as good as Gerrard but he is the definition of a complete footballer. Very underrated in my opinion

 

[Angelofayresome]

Bryan Robson

 

[Hap]

Zidane even though he never graced the Prem, for me.

 

[Lemmy_kilmister]

Paul Madeley was the first player like that I can recall.

Not sure how well either would do at centre back though.

Bryan Robson

Bit before my time so not sure.

Never heard of him

Xavi

 

[Erimus74]

Bryan Orritt played in every position & shirt bar the No2 shirt, he was our 1st used sub too

 

[Rofesleg]

Big Al Kernaghan

 

[Heam44]

Xavi

Not feeling this one.

How well would he do at centre back and full back.

Even as a winger or striker.

Admittedly one hell of a centre mid.

Tony McAndrew

 

[Heam44]

Going to Chuck Viera and Gazza into the mix as well.

 

[NZBoro1]

Franz Beckenbauer. One of the first centre halves to play it out of the back .

Gullit is a good shout. Striker, midfielder, sweeper, all at the highest level.

Colin Cooper left back right back centre half and goalie

Going back forever- John Charles- still revered in Italy, Wales and Leeds.
