Most Complete player...

Thu Sep 10, 2015 2:59 pm

Who is the most complete player you've seen?

Comfortable doing anything anywhere,run with the ball dribble finish etc etc...
There are many great players to choose from but my pick is Zizoou :ayatollah:
Zidane was a class above most what ever surface he appeared on, many say he went out on a sour note getting sent off but I disagree.
Do you recall Peles last match? Maradonas last match? Ronaldo,Romario or Hagi's last match?

Nope but you all remember Zidanes I bet.

Who's your pick...

My favourites,
Henry or Gerrard but the most complete for me would either be Zidane as you said or Ronaldinho, loved that man he was a Wizard.

Without a doubt Ronaldo for me, he had everything! Easily the best striker to ever grace the game and in my eyes best player ever. And despite his horrific injuries, that hampered him from 97/98 onwards he was still the most feared player in the world. He never played at 100% of his talent after his first knee injury as well. I regard Nesta as the best defender of that generation, and for him to say he was the best speaks volumes.

This question needs to be answered with another question, what player would you want to fill 10 positions on the pitch, for me, it's between Gullit and Mattheus

George Best all the way for me as he had pace, could use either foot, fantastic balance, goalscorer, goal creator, fantastic dribbler and would make any defender look a fool.

Pele once described him as the greatest player in the world and in my opinion he was right.

Went on a school trip to a Man Utd game in the Champions League many years ago, and the performance of Paul Scholes will always stay in my mind.

I suppose his tackling would stop him from being described as the complete player, but outstanding midfielder nonetheless.

Alfredo Di Stefano the guy could do anything he of course scored goals but he also could defend and play in the middle Real wouldn't be the club they are today if it wasn't for him in my opinion. :thumbright:

Andres Iniesta. Incredibly underrated by so many.

Dominates in the middle for club and country.
Has won numerous honours for club and country.
He can defend, link up in the middle and recycle the ball and create as well as score.
He scores important goals like that one vs Chelsea in the Champions League (turns up for the big games).
He forms formidable partnerships with players like Xavi, Messi, etc. - his understanding of the game is next level

Ryan Giggs would be a good shout, so consistent for such a long period of time.

Zidane, Inestea both as said above fantastic.

There's no competition
John Charles was the most complete footballer ever
Could play equally well in any position on the field
To think city made a world record bid of £75,000 to Leeds for him that they turned down
2 weeks later he signed for Juventus for £65,000
Another reason why I hate Leeds
