Best player you've ever seen in the flesh

There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

I have limited myself to one current player, one Newcastle player and one Bolton player.

In alphabetical order:

Tony Adams
Peter Beardsley
Dennis Bergkamp
Eric Cantana
Bobby Charlton
Kenny Dalglish
Thierry Henry
Emlyn Hughes
Jimmy Johnstone
Matthew Le Tissier
Rodney Marsh
Peter Shilton
Frank Worthington
Ian Wright

To pick just one, it would be really difficult, but I would probably choose Thierry Henry.

I'd even forgotten that he had a short spell at Bolton!

P.s. a good thread that got me thinking and brought back some good memories. :D

As did Peter Shilton, who was simply embarrassing! :oops:

Several names in there that I would put in my list of all-time entertainers - including (me being Boltonian not Glaswgian) Davie Cooper and Tony Currie (at his peak with Sheff Utd wheh I was a student there).

But some of the players on this list (inc cooper and Currie) were awesome against ordinary opponents, but came up short against truly world class opposition.
