Your favourite non-Boro player of all-time, with one caveat

I said this on a thread a few weeks ago. Bellingham moves and plays like Zidane. He really does have the potential to be an all time great.
It's the way he effortlessly plays the ball into space with his first touch and uses all parts of his foot to make it difficult for the opposition to read which direction he's going to move. Wonderful players that make it look so easy.

I work with Jocks and I've said he reminds me of Zidane the way he moves, they've ripped me but it's not just his number and club. I agree he's got the potential to be the best. Hopefully the press don't have any dodgy stories about him which they save until just before a major tournament - ***ts :mad:

Yeah, has to be Henry for me.

He is the greatest player to play in the PL, by an absolute million miles.

He used to put fear in defenders and more often than not, he won the battle before a ball was kicked.

Never seen anyone come close to what he was capable of, in the Premier League.

What about outside the PL though?

That's just inevitable I'm afraid. And if they don't, they'll make one up.

Out of all the ones I've seen play live probably Ronaldinho

Saw Barca play at Camp Nou in 2007 and he was injured, I was genuinely heartbroken. I had to sit and endure a young whipper snapper from Argentina lead the line, scored 2 including one with his hand. Cheating little rascal..... whatever became of him.
 
Dennis Bergkamp.

I absolutely loved him. He is the epitome of a great No10 in my opinion. Impeccable close control, flair, skill, strength, capable of moments of game-changing brilliance and a scorer of goals that leave your jaw on the floor. He always seemed to be injured when Arsenal played at the Riverside and I remember being gutted that he wasn’t playing, then one year he did play and scored a ridiculous lob over Schwarzer. No, that was Pires who scored the lob. But Bergkamp did score in a 4-0 win. McClaren’s first game.

He was footballing perfection.
 
Messi is my favourite. And I think I’ve watched virtually every one of his games, even now I will get up in the middle of the night to watch him for Miami. The best player ever.

Since I’m not allowed to say him, my other favourite player would probably have to be Harry Kane. I just absolutely love watching him play and always want him to do well. Just hope he wins something now, he deserves it. Absolutely world class.

Honourable shouts for Iniesta, Busquets, Modric and Bergkamp.

Wasn't there a game where Bergkamp was injured against us and David Bentley replaced him? Scored a wondeful goal where he also chipped Schwarzer and everyone thought he was the new Dennis...

Bentley was billed as the new Bergkamp for years before he finally came through. That youth team they had when Wenger was a few years in was packed with players tipped for international honours.

I can’t actually remember who scored the lob over Schwarzer I’m thinking of by the way.

I thought you said it was Bergkamp? I seem to remember one like that. That Arsenal side seemed to rip us apart almost every time (except the famous 3-0 win at Highbury, where we battered them from pillar to post :LOL: ).
 
My favourite player as a kid was precluded latterly from this was Robson.

To watch, I have two that I genuinely think changed the way that the game is played in England.

As one is a keeper I think it's allowed. So mine are Schmeichel and Henry. Both were unlike anything that we had seen before.
