    There have been many great players over the years. I have seen many at Loftus Road and on our travels since I started going in the 80`s
    Being an Rs fan my three are all Rangers legends, feel free to say players from any club (country)

    1 Stan Bowles
    2 Rodney Marsh
    3 George Goddard

    Agree.....Duncan Edwards
    Stanley Matthews

    and

    Johan Cryuff

    saw Stanley and Rodney, both out of this of this world....Stan the Man was like Adel but betterer and for 90 minutes (when not leaning over the hoardings to get the geegee results)

    Watched Socrates a few times playing for Fiorentina, he was slow, unfit and a major delusion.

    there have also a few R's players I would have liked to have seen playing live. I saw them on the pitch but 'live', I am not so sure.
