    Now this is a world class line-up:
    Felix, Carlos Alberto, Everaldo, Brito, Piazza, Clodoaldo, Jairzinho, Gerson, Tostao, Pele, Rivelino

    Some neat football played there! (1970 world cup) Attacking as feck, more like 4-2-4, NOT a tactic I would want Rafa to use btw
    Nah! That lot ****ed about too much!
    I have one word to offer - honesty. I couldn't be devious if I tried. Joe Fagan.

      I think it is difficult to classify a player before his career has finished. I know I've included Pauleta but he is such a good example of an international class player, I had to put him in there. For me, Ronaldo is world class but there is still time to qualify as a legend.

        Just World class.....Van Basten....No way!....have you ever seen his stats?????

        Move him up....right up!!!!

        Legendary
        Van Basten...Acknowledged by his peer's as Probably the greatest out and out striker ever to play football...he was literally kicked out of the game because he couldn't be stopped. Could head, drible, poach, shoot from distance, finish from the tightest of angles or score some of the greatest ever seen volleys... would often chip the keeper just for the hell of it...all at the highest level as well!
        Van Basten was THE total centre forward!

        Check these out and come back and argue with me!

                Players with ability and achievements that transcend their era or generation. Pioneers that can be considered to be the best of all time in their position. Example team:

                Yashin
                Carlos Alberto
                Baresi
                Beckenbauer
                Maldini
                De Stefano
                Maradona
                Cruyff
                Garrincha
                Zidane
                Pele

                Puskas my friend , he would PISS all over "froggy headbutt boy ZZ" who would not even make the bench on my legendary team.

                        Alpha can we add ex-LFC legends ?
                        Dalglish & Rush would fall under Int'l Class since they did not manage to win anything.

                          Might be best to keep that can of worms firmly shut.
