I was 13 in 1974. After that World Cup he was the guy we all wanted to be. Of course it helped that England hadn't qualified. Anyway, he made being Dutch almost as cool as being Brazilian.

Cruyff
Pele
Maradonna

My all time top 3.

Yeah, I'd agree with all of that. I even grudgingly let that little cheat Maradonna into my top 3 as he was bloody awesome.

When you take in his influence in tactics and play styles, as a player and a manager, and not forgetting his awesome playing abilities, we've probably just lost the greatest name in football who ever lived.

The tragedy is that George Best never played in a World Cup or he would be in most people's top 3, or certainly their top 5. I'd have to agree with Archers' top 3 for players who have graced the World stage though.

That's sort of why I stopped at three really. Best would have been next followed by MLT, but as neither played on the biggest stage of all they would have been harder to justify.
