What position do you think produces the most remembered players ?

Strikers, or the midfielders at the front... because really, football/soccer games and statistics are basically all about how many times you score, and that's what strikers and those midfielders do. They sort of become "heroes" after they score and contribute to a team's victory, so they are often remembered for that. \n\nAt least there are figures concerning how many saves a goalkeeper has done in his/her career, but for defenders, there isn't much to say about how many times they managed to keep the ball away from the goal, for example.

Gee that's a hard one. I think some more of our fave's will be looking at retirement, like Sheva, Henry,  Cannavaro etc so definitely they will be talked of. Also players like Messi, Rooney, C Ronaldo, Fabregas etc and perhaps new comers like Theo Walcott and the lad from Italy, sorry, his name escapes me. We are pretty fortunate to have so much talent on the rise to enjoy and appreciate.\n\nSorry I didn't post my answer as requested but it would have been too long.

well according to stats and history , United had players like Andy Cole, Dwight York, Peter Schmeichel, David Beckahm , Laurent Blanc , Teddy Sheringham and many more to name , but the best player in my view that kept himself fit and always helped Man. Utd. should definetly be Ryan Giggs who is in the team since a few years before 1995.\nalso Paul Scholes is a great player as a game maker.

Goerge Hagi, probably. He was insane;y good, and he played for huge clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona Galatasary. Also he had a wicked freekick.

Andrew Johns is, in my view, the greatest player of the modern era and of the best halfbacks of all time. Possibly only Peter Sterling would be at the same level. You only have to look on the impact on Newcastle when he is absent.\n\nPlayers in the same league as Johns would be the immortals such as Reg Gasnier, Johnny Raper, Bob Fulton, Clive Churchill, Wally Lewis, Graeme Langlands and Arthur Beetson from the Post World War II era in Australia. People more knowledgeable in English rugby league could add nominations. From the pre-war Australian competition, I would add Dave Brown and Dally Messenger. I consider that Andrew Johns will become an Immortal in the fullness of time but it is difficult to compare players between eras.

If you're asking me to put together a list of the 11 I would put on the field  to make the best team ever it would go something like this, at least concerning people who played in world cups.... (in a 4-4-2)\nGK-Gordon Banks (best save in W.C. history)\nDF- Bobby Moore, Paolo Maldini, Cafu, Beckenbauer\nMF- Diego Armando Maradona, Michael Platini, Zico, Johan Cryuff\nFW- Pele, Ronaldo\nDebate any of these with me, I promise you they would be the choice of most people who know football (I know it's annoying that I have 2 Brazilians playing up front, but really, can anyone debate that with me?  Pele was a more inventine and creative player than Gerd Muller and Ronaldo might be the best W.C. tournament player ever, or at least he is right up there with Maradona!

Goal.  Dino Zoff Italy keeper in the 80's\nSocrates for my midfield along side Ronaldhino Maradona and platini.  Pele, Ronaldo, Romario up front.\nDefence.  Roberto Carlos, Lucio, Puyol,Maldini\nand to round of my dream team \n\non the bench I would have Jorge Gonzales. Kempes, Rudd Valnisterooy, Cafu,Franz Beckenbauer,Daniel Passarella, Paolo Rossi,Batistuta, Lottar Matheus, Zico, Oliver Kahn, Rivaldo, Hugo Sanchez...\n\nSome of this players you may not know about but at one time or another they where all great and some are just in their prime...\n\nThis would be my Dream Team...

yap..some of them really have good names..some of my favourite is beckham, bastian schweinsteiger, javier mascherano, zambrotta, del piero, aimar..and many more i couldnt remember..

Your favorite is Cristiano Ronaldo. My personal favorite would have to be Ruud van Nistelrooy. He's an amazing striker. Simply incredible!!
439964
For overall impact and hard work i would have to go with Rooney...I am sure you have seen how hard he tries to recover a bad first touch or pass.  I would like to also state that the Saha has also shown flairs of his past abilities now that he has recovered from all his injuries.  Ruud isn't having one of his better years and Ronaldo though quite skilled still requires more maturity.

I wish all of you quit asking this question. Footbal has been around for more the 100 years. To name the best ever, you have to be more than 100 years old. Just to name Pele, you have to be at least 45, because he stop playing almost 30 years ago. Also, how can you appreciate the value of a scorer against the value of a goalkeeper who made de difference beetwen wininig and losing, stoping the other team from scoring. The same for a good defensive player. All you name are scorers, and scoring is just half of the game.

Taking everything in to consideration I would have to say Bobby Moore. Talent wise there have been better players but what made Moore special was his leadership. He had a way of getting the most out of his team-mates and without that England would not have won the '66 World Cup. You don't have to have the most talent to be the best player.

PELE or MARADONA or CRUYFF obviously...\nBut I am 16 I aint seen them play, so far in my life its HENRY the greatest player I've seen play!!!\nRooney can go on to become a legeend just like Best and I doubt he'll ever play for an another football club other than Man Utd or maybe even Everton(he does love em)

Pele. He is being regarded as the Legend in football/soccer game. You can't complete the history of football without mentioning his name. He is all time hero.

Best field player is Claudio Reyna.\nThe best keeper is Freidel, hands down.  I wish he hadn't retired from international football.  Keller is very good, but I would rather have Friedel.

My all time favorite player has retired-Mario Lemieux.  Favorite active player is Martin Brodeur.
