    "The best British footballer of all time" but we can't include any from more than about 15 years ago because the game was easier then! Rubbish. Players like say, Kenny Dalglish would turn todays defenders inside out, just like they did back then

      The other side of that argument is that Gareth Bale would have been kicked to bits in the 70s and 80s ? He would not have been given the space, time or protection he had. His career would have ended earlier as well ? I’ve got nothing against Bale but “best ever “ nah ! Not for me .

      What a load of rubbish. Rooney and Bale combined wouldn't have laced Best's boots! All this nonsense the game is better no its not. Players today might be fitter that's all, but the players of the past were far more talented. Best, Law, Charlton, Greaves, Moore, etc.

    Recentcy bias is off the charts and no goal keepers been talked about yet when weve had some of the best in the world Banks, Shilton and Clemance are the first three to pop into my head and I would rather have Wayne Rooney in my team than Gareth Bale because if we are taking modern day fitness into account then surely injuries should count too. Only have to look at Rooneys goals involvement to understand why i would pick him over Bale and even when he wasnt scoring or assisting he was still always a nightmare for the opposition considering the injuries and his total contribution to a game id say Giggs over Bale too

  • @ahmede8946
    @ahmede8946 Před měsícem

    Best of "All Time" but then they discount those from more than 15 years ago. The fact that Charlton, Moore, Banks, Giggs, Dalglish, Gazza, Scholes didn't even get discussed is a joke. That players of a previous age were able to do what they did without all the technology, training regimes, private chefs, physio's, and multitude of team making them as good as they are, says something about the quality of those players.
    Also, putting Ronnie over Murray was another joke. Murray played some of the most gruelling tennis matches and competed with 3 of the best of all time in his era.
