    True, but the article is "all time", and who is the better is always just an opinion. In mine, McFarland and Todd were better than JT, a very good player, but not all time top 50 for mine.

    Le Tissier and Rodney Marsh were not too shabby, Alan Hansen much better player than commentator !! Dubliner was Liam Brady ?? I thought Dublin was a suburb of Belfast !! After my visit to the Guinness factory in Dublin! I woke up in Belfast. Socrates would be a shoe in for World team, apart from the name. Why a Greek philosopher???

    Giggs is the most overrated footballer of the last quarter of a century for me. Great athlete but not in Scholes' league or even Keane's.

    It still brings a smile to my face remembering the United fans' reactions when we'd just signed Bale and started singing "you're just a **** Gareth Bale" to Giggs. They were furious <laugh>

    Giggs will likely go down as one of the greats in the Premier League because of his longevity but he won't go down as a great anywhere else. He's also an incredible twat and if I was a Wales fan I'd be pissed off that he ducked out of so many friendlies for them, especially since Bale looks like going the sameway.
