well let see what we can come up with. i guess this would be hard but here goes
brazil - pele(who else but this true genius)
england - bobby charlton or alan shearer, hard to choose between the two.
scotland - kenny dalglish
wales - mark hughes
holland - marco van basten or johann cruyff, hard to split the two
argentina - diego maradona
france - michel platini(what a genius).
my top three ever.
1. pele
2. platini
3. maradona
best player in soccer? or tennis?
well it is for football. but i guess other sports could come into. Another one for italy. paolo rossi, man what a forward.

Was Gordon Strachan the Scottish player, or Archie Gemmill???
I agree with you about Greaves but no Maradona for Argentina. You must have been watching diferent games to me!! :lol:
No-one has mentioned Di Stefano, Milburn, Puskas or Duncan Edwards!! Shame on you all...... :lol: :P :lol:
Austarlia Should be Don Bradman ;)
Bradman was undoubtedly the Greatest Batsman of all time!! I am finding it a bit weird agreeing with you Adam... :o :lol:
What about Tony Polster from Austria?? He had (and probably still has) the BEST Mullet Haircut of any World Cup player :lol: :lol: .
Romario for Brazil. A dazzling player, I've had the pleasure of seeing him play live and he was exceptional with his touch and movement. Brilliant player and a natural goalscorer!!
;)
I love the phrase I saw him play live.Quote:

That's so much better than after they have passed on.
What about Ian Botham, greatest all rounder ever. I have only ever seen him on TV, but I assume he was still with us at the time.
I could've phrased it better but I'm knackered having just got back from work. Sorry!! :lol: I think Romario's in the land of the living at present but who knows??
Papin was a good striker for France and AC Milan so I think he deserves a mention too.
;)
Wales = John Charles!!
