How many can you name? Robert Pires immediately springs to mind, great player but I watch him play and imagine the Pingu theme tune. |

What do you mean unorthodox? Most great players have the ability to do the unexpected, eg. Ronaldinho's 'eyes' pass, or Ibra's backheel goal, would that count as unorthodox? |

Alfie is correct, players with unusual technique. |

RvP is slightly unorthodox to me. He has great technique but it's a very aggressive style. I thought Davor Suker was a little bit like that aswell.. |

Yeah I had notice that a bit, maybe it's because of how Wenger was playing him last season. I used to love how he was almost erratic, although maybe erratic is not the perfect word to use but it's the best I can come up with. I think it's a little unusual to see a player with his imagination (Bergkamp-esque) having such an aggressive technique, usually those sort of players would be more graceful and effortless. |

RVP was more Eto'o than he was Bergkamp. |

Kanu, daddy long legs but my word he was a magician. Two of the quickest and agile feet I've ever seen and a quick brain to boot, great footballer. |

Maybe so but I don't think Eto'o has/had the imagination of RvP and certainly not Bergkamp. |
