These things are largely unquantifiable, but how do people think he'd compare in today's game?


Easily.
He had a turn of pace, brilliant first touch, vision and he knew where the goal was.

He needed looking after and all he got was a gang of spongers leading him astray.

imagine an english midfielder who could tackle like pearce, run with the ball like giggs, pass like gerrard and shoot like scholes. well gascoigne wasn't that player but he was fucking good.
 
Would have loved Matt Le Tissier to have been a blue but I bet he would have been called a lazy twat on here.

That never played for your club.

Mine's gotta be Pavel Nedved. Always idolised the guy; perhaps not the most glamorous, and will never be considered amongst the greats of the game, but I just loved him.

Who are yours, and why?

Ideally, this thread won't just fill up with Pelé/Maradona/Messi answers. Be creative.

very easy
