Legends of the Past

Just a thread for past players that you used to love that makes you go "Ohhhh yea he was UNREAL!" when you think of him. Inspired by this man:

Socrates was the man .

Now he's a footballer and made beards look cool!

Truly great footballer was Zidane.

Still easily better than Messi for me and only behind Maradona as the best ever.

 Puskas, DiStefano,Billy Liddell and Kenny Dalglish all class players.

One I will argue with, he's not a legend, just a fat drunken Geordie wife beating c**t!

Sorry to be a pain people but can you post names when posting pics please.  I recognise the faces but my memory isn't what it was, so struggle to remember who they are 

Paolo Maldini

Paolo Maldini

Won as many European cups as our club, that's madness!

One of the classiest defenders to ever play the game in my view.

talk about legends

Zidane....Most underrated world class players ever i believe he didnt get as much credit as he should have done. The things he could do with the ball were ridiculous fantastic touch.

I don't think a 3 times world player of the year was underrated at all... but I agree he was fantastic, a true genius of the sport.

One of the classiest and one of the most influential. The achievements of that club particularly on the European stage during his career was phenomenal.

When I write my "best XI" based on players I've watched during my lifetime, I always find a place for him (usually at left back).

not in my book he was the top man of his generation and his head butt into Materazzi chest his still his finest achievement .No top man for me played the game his own way.

Just about to post Maldini.

Agree Diego.

Agree with Diego and Si as well. Always one of the first names on my world XI.
