Jao Mouthinho (saw him at the europa league final in Dublin 2011, Porto v Braga, Otamendi and Fernando lifted the cup that night too).
I think that’s most of them through the years. But thinking back I’ve seen some good football, most of those have been against Ireland. There’s probably a few more.
***I’ve not seen KDB in the flesh yet
Players I've actually seen and leaving aside David Silva, Colin Bell and Yaya Toure from us and George Best (who could have played anywhere, apart from in goal, and been the best in the world at his peak) from the Red Filth..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.
