my favourites are Marco Van Basten , ROBERTO BAGGIO and RUUd GULLIT
started watching football first in 1990
so can make out the difference between present day players and those of yesteryears.
i feel 'mottai' RONALDO or anyone presently playing, for that matter, can never match the pony tailed italian or the gifted dutchmen.
among the present day players i like christiano ronaldo.
