No Henry. No Vieira. No Ronaldo. No Rivaldo. No Baggio. WOW. Interesting list though. Thanks Diego. Edited by DaG, Sep 18 2009, 01:43 PM.

as a united fan, there has to be a little bias towards cantona mate |

Irwin was as classy a LB as there was. But yeah, he wasn't better than Ashley. |

i believe him to be the best and most reliable leftback of the last 20 years mate, and he had longevity to go with it |

its hard to really pick players still playing, as their careers are still ongoing, so i've gone for players who you can see their entire career start to finish, if you get me, with just 2 exceptions ryan giggs, who will be ending his career sooner rather than later, and cristiano ronaldo who i think warrents a place in the category he's in

While you were extremely harsh about my list, I'm gonna be the bigger man here and applaud your effort and respect your decisions. However, I think I actually feel physically sick reading that list of strikers. No Henry, no Ronaldo, yet you've got Gary fucking Linekar in there. Sheer bias, crazy bias and bitterness. |

No Henry is scandelous mate, as is no Ronaldo or Ronaldinho, yet you include Cristiano?! I'm not happy with some exclusions and you've been a bit biased, but nice effort! |
