    In a game.

    People raving about Ronaldo tonight. But what other super solo performances have there been?

    Any to rival CR7?

  2. George Best has got to be in there somewhere.

    Stevie Nicks singing just to me in front of 10,000 strangers.

  5. Being biased, Deeney was immense when we beat Leicester in a play off in 2013.

    Zidane against Brazil in 2006.

    Brazilian Ronaldo at Old Trafford - 2003 maybe

    Diego Maradonna in 86 world cup.

    Basically give the ball to him and watch tactics

    No player comes close to maradona imo. You could put him in the Sunderland side and he would win you the prem

    I only uses Sunderland as its your thread and your post:emoticon-0148-yes:

    But yeah I believe he was that good, did wonders for napoli

    Guy was a genius with the ball. With media as it is now he would have been bigger than ronaldo and messi combined.

    Longevity aside I think ronaldhino was better than these 2

    Most of Ronaldinho's performances in his Barca heyday have to be up there.

    I know Messi and Ronaldo are better, at least statistically anyway but Ronaldinho was just pure magic, there's a video somewhere on YouTube showing him humiliate a number of the world's best defenders/ midfielders in various games, just ridiculous how good he was.

    No one is that good. Might have escaped successive relegations maybe.

    Greatest player I have ever seen live (I never got to see George Best).

    Best was remarkable. His balance, vision, control, genuine two footed ability. And all this is an era when the game was played on a mud pile that passed for a pitch and the likes of Chopper Harris were only too happy to kick you straight into the third row of the stand.

    Maradona ( the ****!) against England in the 1986 WC has to be a standout performance. Even ignoring his ‘hand of god’ “goal”
