I will change a bit my favorites since last time:

Schmeichel
Cafu
Thuram
Cannavaro
Maldini
Vieira
Gerrard
G. Best
Messi
Maradona
Ronaldo da Lima

Buffon
D. Alves
Terry
Baresi
Scholes
Iniesta
Zidane
R. Baggio
Shevchenko

This would be my team of all time.

GK. Gordon Banks just ahead of Buffon
RB. Carlos Alberto just ahead of Cafu
CD. Franco Berasi
CD. Bobby Moore just ahead of Franz Beckenbauer
LB. Paolo Maldini
CDM. Graeme Souness just ahead of Frank Rijkaard
CM. Steven Gerrard just ahead of Clarence Seedorf
AM, Maradona just ahead of Zidane / Gazza in prime
RW. Messi just ahead of Cruyff
ST. Pele just ahead of Van Basten
LW. Ronaldinho just ahead of C. Ronaldo

Obviously I haven't seen all play as much as modern players but I would think this team would scare the pants of any team waiting in the tunnel. Ronaldinho was picked ahead of C. Ronaldo as more of a team player and I would enjoy watching more.

CD. Franco Baresi

You are a great football expert!

My captain! :)

But Don how can he be without....

watch that all the way through people, remembering he played against some of the best defenders in the best league in the world at that time

Brian, I don't see the video ... :)

Go to youtube put 'Baggio' in, 3rd video down - 10 minutes..... it gets better and better, his 1 on 1's were the best

I AGREE WITH YOU MATE!

Unfortunately "The Devine Ponytail" Baggio will always be associated with (the ultimate 1 on 1) penalty miss in 1994 WC finals.

Unfortunately yes, but more by people who don't know much about football, and by people who didn't follow Italian football, I admit until i see that video a few years ago i didn't have him in my best 11

I hate penalties in the current format, if they'd have been one on ones Baggio would have been the best
as your mostly running with ball when a player fouls you it should be that a penalty is when your running with the ball then one on one with the keeper

I have a liverbird on my arm, have had for 15 years.... but i doubt Gerrard better then Zidane and Laudrup, to mention my two favourites.....

Check this video if you are in doubt about Laudrup.... he was a bigger star then Schmeichel.... Barca champions with him, he change to Real, then they become champions (He did the Figo, before Figo... he made the tricks Zidane are famous for, before Zidane)

Pep Guardiola " the balon d'Or is Worth nothing cause Laudrup never won it"

Iniesta "Laudrup is the best player ever"

Romario " Laudrup is in top 3 best player ever"

Beckenbauer "“Pele was the best in the 60s, Cruyff in the 70s, Maradona in the 80s and Laudrup in the 90s.”

Johan Cruyff “When Michael plays like a dream, a magic illusion, determined to show his new team his extreme abilities, no one in the world comes anywhere near his level.

One of the most difficult players I have worked with. When he gives 80–90% he is still by far the best, but I want 100%, and he rarely does that.”

Luis Figo “I think maybe Laudrup was the best player I ever played against.”

Raul "the best player i ever played with"

Roberto Galia “I have played against Maradona, Platini and Baggio. But the player I saw do the most indescribable things was Michael Laudrup.”

Ivan Zamorano “I always say that Laudrup had three eyes, not two like everyone else. As a forward, I had to be aware all the time, because he could make you a chance out of nothing and you had to be prepared for that moment. Michael was a magician and one of the greatest players ever.”
