Ok I am going to bring down the wrath of hell from all of you by committing heresy but for me it was Kinkladze.
The guy could run rings round players if he wanted to.... but if he wasn't arsed he went missing in action. To back that up I give you Notts County away. I saw him in that fixture 2 years running. The first time he beat them on his own, the second they weren't so nice, nothing really dirty just good old fashioned defending and he didnt like it and for 85 minutes he may as well have been stood next to me.
