More a childhood thing I guess, but for me it’s the two Peters - Osgood and Bonetti

I loved watching Thierry Henry. He was so sublime on the ball. Salah has come close to making the game look as easy as he did.

Yes, agree that Salah is the only player in the PL who can hold a candle to what Henry did. Whenever and wherever they get the ball, they could create or score, and the consistency to have that game after game, season in season out.

Roque Santa Cruz too as I just loved his name. Didn’t realise he was actually mediocre
Dennis Bergkamp - a Rolls Royce of a player.
Luis Suarez is also the best player I've seen in all of our Premier League years.

Alan Shearer. A brute, beyond clinical and scored his fair share of absolute sh*t-pingers too. That Newcastle team at the turn of the millennium was great to watch.

Mine would be Georgi Kinkladze. I first remember him from Georgia's 5-0 demolition of us in 1994, then he went on to join Citeh. They were pretty average then, but some of his goals are incredible. Some good clips on here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1T_MJP0FIA

George Best all day long ⚽️
Re: Your Favourite Non Welsh or Cardiff Player ever
Bastian Schweinsteiger. Kept it simple but so good technically, struck the ball so well.

Re: Your Favourite Non Welsh or Cardiff Player ever
Jimmy Dickinson MBE.
Wing half
Won two successive Div 1 Champion medals (ie Premiership) for the mighty Pompey 1948-50
Capped 48 times for England
A one-club man, he played 846 times for Pompey.
He was NEVER booked.
I first saw him in 1952.
He spoke to me after I played in a Cup Final at Fratton Park.
Re: Your Favourite Non Welsh or Cardiff Player ever
Robert Pires or Henry for me. Pires just about shades it. So comfortable on the ball, could spot a pass and a fantastic finisher.
Always thought the biggest sign that wenger had lost the plot was when he messed him about over a contract extension because he was over 30.
