    This entire thread has made me sad, especially after watching those clips. Look what we contend with now when we compared with what we did have.

    A very unigue player was our Dennis, don't think there was ever a player who posessed that level/type of talent, technique or intelligence on the pitch before or since.
    I thought Jari Litmanen when he was on form back in the day was a similiar type of player and extremely talented but obviously not a good as Dennis but was in the same mould, a rare breed those type of players.

    Chamak must cry when he watches a tape of Dennis play, it's like a different sport watching that clown up front. :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Henry has blotted his copy book by THAT awful handball which destroyed Ireland's dreams. To me and many football fans, that was unforgivable cheating and no one with that awful incident in his career could lay claim to the title of greatest ever.

    He will always regret that moment and wished he never did it but there must be an element of fairplay in football and Henry cheated a whole nation.

    Not sure. But we know who he thinks was the best defender. King Ledley.

    Would you still stand by this if 'Henry' was replaced with 'Maradona' and 'Ireland' was replaced with 'England'?

    YES! Maradona was a cheat and to me he can never be the greatest ever.

    the goal he scored for holland vs the argies was pure class

    henry with the amount of goals he scored never scored one like that but the one he scored against manure was a close second

    thats why bergy is better than henry

    Whether a player cheats or not has absolutely no reflection on how talented they are so I don't know what you are on about there.
