Best Foreign Footballer

Post by Ace »

This has caused a storm with Patrick Viera voted the best ever foreign footballer to play here.
My choice is Gianfranco Zola whos sublime skills amazed even the staunchest opposing fan. He was a genuinelly nice bloke both on and off the field, and was always applauded off the field by opposing fans.

I post this after a lot of soul searching, regardless of him being a Chelsea player. My second would be Ossie Ardiles, then Jurgen Klinsmann

And those two played for those North London slags, Tottenham Hotspur, or in Ossie's case, Tottingham

They didn't play here Stevie, the poll was for foreigners who played in England.

What about George Best (again), surely he must be up there!! If not my next best is Thiery Henry.

Agreed Zola was the best a credit to the game.Ardilles was also a great and finally Cantona, he did not just play great football he developed the young players . Chokes to say that though

Oh yes, the dirty player who hacked players and fans down. Liked to spit as well. Excellent player, great skills, but a nasty cunt as well. The fan did deserve a slap, but piling in as he did with an innocent woman next to the thug was inexcusable. I give him 7/10 overall.

I hate to think what you rated Paulo Di Canio

0/10 for the wide world of wrestling bout with that Ref

10/10 for catching the ball on the opponents penalty area when he saw the oppositions goal keeper was down hurt..last minute of the game...speaks volumes..as for his skill & flair I'd prefer him over Ginola anyday

He's either all class or a raving nutter depending on your allegiances

Why Zola & Him never get picked in the Italian side is beyond me

Did any Scots rate a mention? Strachan...Souness..Dalglish..technically they're foreigners

cheers
