Not much football action and yet i want to discuss football things...so why not give an all time favourite top five for football players.
Mine are certainly not the best ever players, they simply are players thati really loved....
1. Giuseppe Giannini: AS Roma central midfielder in the late 80's and the early 90's. A fantastic player with vision. Certainly not the most effective player but to me the most elegant.
2. Fernando Redondo: another elegant player, but this one was effective as hell. The best defensive midfielder i ever saw...i remeber a beautiful goal against Man Utd...
3. Eric Cantona: a fantastic player, a great character and on top of that a very intelligent human being...left Man Utd for the right reasons...and then there was his Jekyll and Hyde personality...
4. Arnold Muhren: for the same reasons as Giannini. The poor men's Giannini although he was more succesfull in terms of silverware...
5. Hans Bouwmeester (Hans who???): Dutch playmaker who was once considered as Cruijff's succesor, who flopped his carreer and ended up at my favourite team...RWDM (now Brussels)....played lots of great matches and was one of the most fair players i ever saw...
