Who is your favourite retired soccer player?
-
Tomas Brolin of Sweden.. a brilliant attacking midfielder for both club and country during the early 90s.
Batigol - An argentine legend who has sadly missed out on winning the biggest prize in world football.
Romario - The best brazilian forward before the Ronaldo era. -
Gheorge Hagi - Romanian midfield maestro of the 1980s to 90s. Considered as the Maradona of the Carpathians (a mountain range in Romania)
Franco Baresi - Superb Italian defender, master of cantenaccio defence.
Jurgen Klinsmann - Efficient striker -

don't mind me saying this: shouldn't maradona be better off playing say, rugby? using hands won't be illegal there.
ohhh i remember another soccer player i sort of liked. too bad he never got to retire:
escobar. -
Gustavo Poyet
and Giuseppe Signori -
It's never the ending, but it's the process...which is more memorable and important...Most pple may remember his pk miss but i'll always remember his magic and passion he brought to this game...Originally posted by monoslayer:ohh yes! the divine ponytail! n who can 4get his penalty miss? -
I agree with you. To me, the memorable part of his game was during the later stage of his career, the way he helped Brescia. Similar to Maradona on Napoli, of course he didnt win the Serie A. But he did put fear in opponent teams when they played Brescia.Originally posted by Heartzzz:It's never the ending, but it's the process...which is more memorable and important...Most pple may remember his pk miss but i'll always remember his magic and passion he brought to this game... -

tis guy is ungrateful n still claim himself he singlely won world cups by himself forgotten that there were many stars around his era.
n also he has a very 'special' mouth to predict winning team or rising star whom never gonna make it becos of his 'crow mouth'. -
Klinnsman is my guy. Although he part time diver, he is really solid in front of the goal. Without him, Germany cannot win world cup 1990. When he moved to Spurs, should be semi-retired mode but still perform well and bring joy to Spurs fans.

who else?! maradona..
anyone who can single-handly win cups for country or club, it has to be him.. -
Alan Hansen ...........

Diego Maradona...
For all his magic on the field.
and also...
Gerd Müller The man who made Bayern Munich a great German club. The "kio sai" god that even RvN, Inzaghi pales in comparison. The man who scored ten goals in one world cup, (1970) 68 in 62 international appearances for Germany 365 goals in 427 Bundesliga games German top scorer for 7 years
Can any goalscorer (Jurgen Klinsmann who? ) beat that? -

mine goes to maradona
love him or hate him, its a love/hate affair -
maradona scored by his hand, which some say it's dirty trick, some say it's his magic cos he did it without getting caught by the ref.
Putting that incident aside, some of his dribble really make other professional players looks like school boy. Like the one that he dribble thru about 5 opponents and scored.
