@Medvedini said in Who is your all-time favourite football player and why?:
Very nice topic.
It is really HARD to choose the only one. I've been watching football for 25 years seriously and consider football of 90s and beginning of 00s to be more impassioned and heartfelt. Maybe that is why most of my heroes are from that time:- Jürgen Klinsmann
- Andy Möller
- Ronaldo (br)
- Gabriel Batistuta
- Alan Shearer
- David Beckham
- Gary Neville
- Roberto Baggio
- Francesco Totti
- Pavel Nedved
This list will never be full...
Agree. Those are all top players and I like the fact that you included the great Totti, who is still playing at 40!

Hey, nice topic.
Without any doubt, this guy
Cristiano RonaldoHe is arguably the best footballer in the world , though it’s a debate of it’s own which I am not going to discuss here. What I like about him most is his, self confidence , kindness ,generosity that people often misunderstand as arrogance.
His childhood summary
Cristiano Ronaldo was born on 5 February 1985 in Madeira, Portugal, to Jose Dinis Aveiro and his wife Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro. His father was a gardener with the municipality while his mother worked as a cook. Ronaldo was the youngest child among four children; others being a son and two daughters.They were too poor and her mother didn't really wanted a burden of one more child.
Ronaldo was expelled from the school after assaulted his teacher by throwing a chair at him. He had always been a keen footballer and by the time he was 14 years old he decided to concentrate on becoming a professional footballer. Ronaldo had been playing for Androrinha since he was eight.
But at the age of 15 Ronaldo was diagnosed with ‘racing heart’. His condition was serious and would have made him let go of football. But a surgery saved him and he went back for his training.
At the age of 17, Ronaldo played his first professional game for the ‘Portuguese Super League.’
In 2003, for the first time, Manchester United paid such a young player 12 million pounds as a signing amount. After this there has been no looking back.
Current Stats-Currently he is playing for Juventus in Serie A after playing from some iconic clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester United. He has made and broken many records in football. He has won record tying 5 Ballon d'Or and already is nominee of this year Ballon d'Or (one of the most prestigious award in history of football ). More info https://www.econturk.org

It's a funny story. In 2010, I can't remember the exact date but I think it was the 2009/10 season. I was watching a football match for the first time. I said to myself whoever wins the match I am a fan of that club. It was United vs Fulham. United won it 3-0 and Wayne Rooney scored one or two. He became my favourite player and United my favourite club. Fulham my 2nd favourite. So if things had turned out differently I would be a Fulham fan with Bobby Zamora as my favourite.
Aside from that I loved the CM/ST role Rooney played with Welbeck or whoever running in from outside the box and guys like Carrick and Fletcher becoming "Strikers".

DIEGO ARMANDO MARADONA (genius) and FERENC PUSKAS (not only as a football player, but as a HUMAN he was a role model))

Mark van Bommel

LIONEL MESSI
A simple reason why I think he is the best player of all times is because he is in a league of his own. Every now and then you see other players taking the ball from the midfield, dribble everyone and score or assist... but he is doing it and has been doing it for the last 15 years. That is ridiculous. It is all about the simplicity with him. There are other good players there but none to even get close to his level.
Best player. Best goal scorer. Best passer. Best dribbler. And not just that... he is also a role model in real life. Had the same girlfriend and later wife for his entire life and has 3 beautiful children.

Ribamar

Alvaro "El Chino" Recoba
I don't know what attached me with this player, probably the first jersey that I bought was with his name on it, he was left foot like I am and I simply loved his style of play.

Totti, just because he is such a legend and is a one club man of roma, which is the club I support.
