Maradona. 86 World Cup. Nothing else comes remotely close to what he achieved that tournament.

Messi for genius at the top level for so long but he did have the advantage of playing in some unreal sides.

Ronaldinho probably my favourite player though. The things he could do with a football and play with a smile on his face. You can’t put a price on that.

Totally left field, but Michael Barrantes. Virtually all of you would be thinking who the fck is he? He was a centre/attacking midfielder with my favourite Norwegian side, Aalesund. Costa Rican international. Think Peter Whittingham but with pace and energy and an even better left foot. Scorer of unbelievable goals while being the heartbeat of the side. Was lucky to meet him when they played Neath in a Europa qualifier a few years ago. I would have loved him to have played for us.

Too many

Berkamp sublime

Rodney Marsh, outrageous

Pele, a joy to watch

Peter King, everything you want from a player

But there’s only one Peter Whittingham

Re: Your Favourite Non Welsh or Cardiff Player ever

Aren't most footballers not Welsh and haven't played for Cardiff City? It doesn't exactly narrow down the choices!

Just choose a bloody player. Why do people have to argue about EVERYTHING on here?

Henry for me, class above most players

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.

Johan Cruyff.

100% the best player I've seen in my lifetime.

Maradona.

Re: Your Favourite Non Welsh or Cardiff Player ever

For me Henry has to be up there. Pure quality to watch

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.
