Favourite players from the past (I tried to model my playing style forlornly on) Greavsie Martin Peters Alan Hudson Later I admired Rui Costa, Zizou and currently KDB.
Two who haven’t been mentioned. Andrea Pirlo - Rolls Royce of midfielders. Paolo Maldini - one of the all time greats
King Kev scored the greatest goal that never counted ever... A travesty, where was VAR when you needed it?
Maldini is easily the best defender of my lifetime (early 90's). Brilliant player for an incredible amount of time.
He destroyed West Germany when we beat them 2-0 in 1975 and then Revie never picked him again, the ****...probably wouldn't join in with his England bingo sessions.... He dropped Bally as Captain IIRC too.
Ossie wasn't too shabby either although the playboy late nights out had taken their toll by the time he joined us!... Why did your lot let them both go?...politics or their faces not fitting?
He wasn't underrated back in the late 70's early 80's, I saw him play a few times for Hamburg when I was working out there. Him and Tony Woodcock were icons in Germany. Keegan got European footballer of the year 2 years running..
More meant over here. Liverpool fans always rate Kenny> Kev. Germans loved him more than we ever did. One World Cup and a missed header v Spain never forgotten
