Greatest midfielders you have watched

[roy.or.r]

Since everyone is in a state of panic (rightly so) and locked inside, share your thoughts on the best 5 midfielders you have watched play.

For me the list is
1. Xavi
2. Silva
3. Iniesta
4. Ballack
5. De Bruyne

Let’s hear from the blues.

Stay safe!!

Zidane by a country mile

Socrates - Brazil, I feel honoured I got to see him, sadness for those who didn't, a beautiful beautiful player who had everything, including a 40 fags a day habit.

Henderson or Milner for me.

 

[Blue Feather]

The King, David, Ali, Ya Ya, KDB...…..closely followed by Ged Brannan

 

[gorton guvnor]

Zidane
KDB
Spanish Dave
Yaya
Gow/Gaz Baz

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Fitzroy Simpson

 

[SPIDERBOY]

Iniesta.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Zidane
KDB
Spanish Dave
Yaya
Gow/Gaz Baz

Had Dave Ewing wandered upfield a little more we would have been talking of Scottish Dave!

 

[Pearceman]

Ardiles for Spurs.

 

[Platt Lane 59]

Neil McNab

For many years, Neil McNab was the best City player I had seen live (missed Bell).
He shone in City teams that were mediocre.
Remember Gazza taking the piss out of Paul Lake (who had great potential, never unfortunately fulfilled) at Maine Road : nutmegging him, turning round, cupping his ears, then running away with the ball...
